There are plenty of reasons for this, and (IMO) most will get worse rather than better, at least in the near term.

We were promised affordable EVs, but instead, we’re getting a lot of models that aspire to be affordable but keep moving out of reach. Ford said the F-150 Lightning would start “under $40,000”; it now starts at around $59,000. Other affordable models, like the Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5, have also shot up in price. Tesla jacked up the prices of its entire lineup by as much as $6,000.
My advice to ppl is to not buy these polluting piles of shit tech. There batteries are toxic and the recharging puts 40 times the pollution into the air verse a gas car. They are hulks of complete garbage.
The real objective is for the plebes to have no cars, thus choking gas and making EVs unaffordable.
Wait until huge swaths ...hundreds and maybe a few thousand, torch at the same time from a solar flair!
Interesting and horrifying thought . . . I wonder if in fact EVs will be vulnerable to a large flare. We'll find out sooner or later . . .
