Second this.

With every manufacturer ramping up EV production, but no large scale of new battery raw material production in the foreseeable horizon, larger than norm inflation... the price war on raw materials is just starting.

And even ICE cars have gotten more and more expensive over time.

I'm sure there'd be EVs for all price segments down the road, but apple to apple, I doubt they'd get cheaper in any way. The more likely scenario is that you become more affluent to be able to afford the EV (its relative cost to you has gone down), but that's it. However, with $2+ a litre, I don't think staying on the fence is doing your finances any favor unless you decide to ditch car altogether and just wait until more affordable EVs become a reality.
