Initial cost of owning an EV is much higher than owning a comparably equipped ICE vehicle. Then, the long-term cost of owning an EV is way more than the comparably equipped ICE vehicle, especially after the initial battery starts going bad an/or starts failing to hold a charge. Insurance costs are higher, no matter how new or old an EV is.
The other disadvantages are clear from the start, but heck, some people listen too much to the environmental-wackos.
“especially after the initial battery starts going bad an/or starts failing to hold a charge.”
Tesla batteries last 300k to 400k miles.

What are the long term costs?
