“the second-highest reason cited was that the total cost of owning an EV was too high (34%)”
That’s weird. Could be they live where electric rates are teared. Then it was stupid of them to buy one in the first place. It cost us $7 to “fill up” (269 mi).
We have four other gas powered vehicles. If I go anywhere other than local, we take those.

“was the lack of available charging infrastructure “
MSM/rat spin: “see, once we spend billions on charging stations people will love them”. The lack of stations is barely makes the top 5 reason EV’s are bad choice for most.

The total cost of ownership includes the purchase price, which was probably much higher when most of these people bought their cars. They probably sat down and figured out that the lower cost of "fuel" for the EV over its life didn't offset the higher up-front cost of the vehicle.
Or maybe a bunch of them found themselves in a position where they had to replace the battery at an enormous cost.
