They are consistently 10k more, see the id.4 or Mach E for better comparisons.

Neither of those have ICE versions (and did not have ICE versions in any recent years), so you can make up any number and say the EV versions are $X more expensive.
There may be some premium, but arguably some of that is the manufacturers targeting a consumer price net of tax subsidy ($7,500+).
Disagree. F-150 Lightning XLT is ~$5k more than the ICE equivalent, which means it costs less after the tax credit. (I'm not sure the baseline model is the same as the baseline ICE F-150.)
The Bolt and iX are essentially compliance/concept vehicles that don't have ICE editions, so you can't say they cost more than their comparable models. Once those two get real EV strategies, we will be able to make direct comparisons between e.g. the Chevy Tahoe and the Chevy Tahoe EV.
