We can’t even get ICEs under 10k these days, it’s wildly unthinkable to expect we’d manage it with EVs.
As for everything costing more, this is capitalism, every business out there is trying to extract every dollar they can from consumers.

Ok, but that’s our military engagement history. I asked for evidence on Canada committing assassinations.
