The cost of EV ownership is really underreported. Insurance, depreciation even tire wear are all significantly higher.

First, fuel-wise, it's cheaper to drive than a comparable gas car. If you charge the car at home, so much the better. It cost less to insure my wife's Tesla Model Y than it does our fully loaded 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander. My GMC van wears tires faster than that Tesla even begins to.

I do not believe that or the insurance rates. I have seen the data and your assertion does not hold up at all.
