It seems like every week there is a new company that produces electric cars. Are EVs so easier to make compared to ICE cars?

There’s actually not THAT many EV manufacturers. The main ones are Tesla and Polestar.
The way it works is that Polestar makes a “skateboard” which is just the battery, chassis, and motors. They sell this skateboard to a bunch of different car companies like Ford, Chevy, KIA, etc. Those car companies then design and build the body and interior onto the skateboard.
That’s why all these different cars have generally the same performance capabilities. Except the Ford F150 Lightning which suspiciously boast exactly twice the range as the others because they stacked an extra battery onto the skateboard.
It’s also why pretty much every EV uses the same charger cable, except Tesla
