Then why are EVs priced higher than ICE?

What does EV and ICE have to do with comparing electric motors to gas motors?

For other reasons.

Either they are priced higher or they aren't. They are priced higher and as such I won't be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.

Gas engines are cheaper

Yeah, I understand perfectly that you're hilariously wrong. My car is paid off. It's just maintenance at this point. How is that going to be more expensive than buying an EV?
