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.
