An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

You're moving goalposts. Electric motors are cheaper. The end.

    The motor yes. But an electric car does not move with a motor only.

    By just calculating the motor we are making up cost comparisons that do not reflect the actual cost of the car.

    Are you having trouble understanding the English language? The OP clearly stated the following:

    Gas engines are cheaper

    Which is patently false.

    Then why are EVs priced higher than ICE?

    Either they are priced higher or they aren't. They are priced higher and as such I won't be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.

    Do you also have English language comprehension issues?

    I think you are having trouble understanding the English language. Most people have heard of a thing called context.

    “A programmer is going to the store and his wife tells him to buy a gallon of milk, and if there are eggs, buy a dozen. So the programmer goes shopping, does as she says, and returns home to show his wife what he bought. But she gets angry and asks, ‘Why’d you buy 13 gallons of milk?’ The programmer replies, ‘There were eggs!’”

    Now as we are describing car types one with a gas and one with an electric engine, and comparing their prices, maybe put the LLM context tokens slightly higher before responding.

    No, the OP didn't say a word about cars. Learn to read please.

    Once again you appear incapable of understanding context. The explain XKCD article might be of help.
