Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable folding electric bike for daily use?

Its astonishing that with all the advancements in e-bike technology, its still a challenge to find a reliable and affordable folding electric bike that can withstand daily use. Whats even more puzzling is that companies are still producing subpar e-bikes, knowing full well that their products wont last a year of regular commuting.

I suppose what Im trying to say is that Ive had my fair share of disappointing experiences with supposedly reliable e-bikes.

Given the plethora of folding electric bikes available, surely someone on this forum can recommend a model that wont break the bank or leave me stranded on the side of the road. Im looking for something with a reasonable range (at least 20 miles), minimal maintenance requirements, and doesnt weigh more than 35 pounds. Its not an unreasonable ask, is it?

Im starting to think that e-bike manufacturers are more concerned with gimmicks and flashy designs rather than actual performance and durability. Has anyone had any luck with a particular brand or model thats stood the test of time?
