@Ken Kobayashi Right. The point is that manufacturing costs are still going down, even though it's already cheaper to own a BEV, including everything from purchase through resale.
To clarify, this is about BATTERY cost dropping. Industry insiders say BEV production cost is already below ICE's. Cost per mile & even Total Cost of Ownership have been lower for a while. Check the article's comments.
It's not even the battery cost, it's the CELL cost. An EV battery module is made up of multiple cells, wiring, control electronics, various sensors, coolant channels, etc. all mounted in an enclosure.
