@Strictmichael75 says
Those batteries typically pay for themselves in the first 4 or 5 years of use. Thus the lifetime cost of an EV, in dollars, in carbon footprint, and in energy consumed (including manufacturing & disposal), is considerably less than the cost of an equivalent gas vehicle.
According to Car & Driver magazine, All automakers currently offer at least an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty on EV battery packs; some up to 150,000 miles. And the fine print usually says the battery qualifies for replacement if it's lost 30% of its capacity.
This 2022 comparison from Canada assumes 8 years of ownership and 20,000km/year of driving; about a 99,400 mile lifetime.
Ev’s have very expensive batteries!

It hasn't reached supply and demand - when and if it does gasoline might be cheaper then, temporary of course.
