Well one reason EV prices have not dropped much is because of fast pace of improvements. As JSH points out, the LEAF is just a better car now without the increase.
Forgive me for referring to the i3 so much (it's what I know most about), but it has not dropped in new pricing either because BMW has bumped the range twice in the last 2 production years, going from a 22kWh to 33kWh, and now 44kWh battery for 2019. They have also abandoned the range extender option for all but the US market going forward.
