Ah, I should have noted your location

The ratios should hold, though unless they have really odd marketing going on in Canada
 
It is not necessary to have $10,000 battery, use smaller battery. Audis/Mercedes/Porsche can justify their price's but $43,699-49,199 for Kona electric or Kia Niro $44,995-54,695 is not when you can purchase BMW i4 Gran Coupe $54,990 The 2022 ICE Kona starts at $21999 so there is no why it is worth $21700 more to make it electric.

On the other hand BMW 4 Series Coupe ICE starts at $53,650 compared to BMW i4 Gran Coupe $54,990.

Small batteries mean small range which is not what consumers want. A small battery say 14-17Kwh still cost in the $5,000 to $8,000 with integrated cooling. Some large battery packs are $20,000 + . The ice vehicle costs are already born by previous generations where BEV's costs are here and now. They will drop in the future but not today.
