This is nonsense.
I have owned an EV for 8 years. It cost $300 to buy and install my EVSE ("charge station") because I already had a 240v plug in my garage. If a 240v line had to be run from my breaker box to my garage it would have been about $2k. But it also wouldn't have been necessary, as 110v charge speed would have been fine. Also that $300 got reimbursed via tax credit.
Stop pushing FUD. This is total nonsense. EV ownership is awesome and has been for years. The only issue is that people living in apartments or condos without a garage usually can't charge at home. These places need to start adding charging infrastructure to parking spaces.

Energy cost is double outside of that, in the regular "off peak", then quadruple outside of that. This would barely cover the average commute. With housing prices skyrocketing, especially those close to the cities, I think we'll see commutes increasing.
