How much do electric cars cost in Canada?

I just got promoted and I’d like to buy a new EV as a present for myself! I live in Toronto and I’m wondering how much electric cars typically cost and what I may be able to afford. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 looks kinda cool. Can you tell me how much electric cars cost in Canada?
