I don't know what's easier to make. I do know what's more expensive.

If you get a vehicle that's very efficient and give it 150 miles of range, they can be quite a bit less expensive, but we also know no one will buy them.

Get up to date. Lithium packs now cost $108 per kw hr. Or $5500 for a typical pack.

A catalytic converter on an F150 is $2000.

Where are you getting this information from? A typical pack is 60kWh at minimum, which is $6500, assuming that rate is correct.
