yes, its true... many/most EVs are very expensive. (Although I think you're wrong about the cost of a full EV... for example, the Tesla 3 is an all electric vehicle that is expected to cost ~$35,000 Canadian, not "North of $40,000".) And as I pointed out, the Hyundai Ioniq is not "$30-40,000", it is ~$25,000.
According to the Tesla site the Canadian price for the Model 3 starts at $56,000.
My mistake... I was looking at the Tesla information for the U.S.
Still, there are all-electric vehicles that are under $40,000... the Hyundai Ioniq and the Volkswagen egolf are both in the $37-38,000 range. So I think my point still stands (even if I was wrong about one specific vehicle).

Yes, getting vehicles with longer ranges or more features increases the price.
But that is also true of all vehicles. After all, if you want 4 wheel drive on an SUV you probably won't find that on the base model, but you will have to pick one of the higher end models (which also increases the price.)
