Electric drivetrains enjoy many benefits. They are substantially more efficient and reliable thanks to their simpler and more compact design. They do feature more advanced components made from high-cost materials, which contributes to their already high pricing strategy. Another noteworthy benefit of electric drive units is that they are substantially lighter than a conventional ICE. Unfortunately, the weight of an average lithium-ion battery pack results in EVs weighing substantially more than your average ICE sedan.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have historically been more expensive than cars with an internal combustion engine (ICE) or even a hybrid. In recent years, however, EV prices have been coming down due to increased competition, more available models, and also lower material costs. Of course, government incentives also play a role, and how much revenue automakers are willing to reduce on a certain EV model, like General Motors and its strategy to introduce variable profits, as it aims to sell more EVs than ever.
