Just what do you think is easier to make. A battery where sheets of metal are coated in a liquid, dried, cut, rolled, and placed in a box? or all the parts needing milling and placement for a an automatic transmission engine?
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.
