I'm talking about the Hyundai Kona, I think. I definitely agree that they are cheaper to run. I've heard before too that they are cheaper to produce, but haven't seen any evidence of it so far.

the main hurdle, other than the obvious one that the more performance drive trains require conflict minerals, is one of upsell. customers expect evs to be more expensive, so lower trim levels are not available for the electric version.

the peugeot e308 has the same price increase.

also, engineering a car for multiple drive trains is more expensive to begin with.
