This is why the price of ICE vehicles have been artificially inflated. The average ICE price should be roughly 30% less. Whereas EVs are still getting EV credits, which are artificially lowering them by around 20%. Anyone who believes the market actually reflects capitalism likely owns stock for many bridges in the Mojave.
On top of this, the resell market for EVs is garbage. Meaning even if you believe the up front costs on EVs are attractive (they are not), the back end cost in depreciation is bad to absolutely terrible. With the terrible, the situation may include the need to replace the $15K-$25K battery pack and the 1-2 year delay for receiving it.
