Gave him the reigns

FOUND ON NETFLIX: Gave him the reigns...

The program that did the subtitles messed up. He gave him the reins, as with a horse. Reigns is a verb, not a noun.

FROM ANOTHER ARTICLE: It’s $36,620 base price is competitive for an EV but significantly more than the prices of other compact cars.

It's $36,620 base price isn't possessive, so you don't need the apostrophe. Its works here.
