The common narrative in the EU, AFAIK is - set aside the environmental aspect - about: Yes, I am paying a (large) premium to buy an EV, but I have access to a government subsidy and I am going to save a lot over the years because electricity costs a fraction of fuel. The latter part is simply not true anymore, whether you charge at a public charger or at home, electricity prices have raised so much that cost per driven km is about the same as that of fuel for ICE cars. Whether this affects (or will affect) EV sales is yet to be seen, it is not like EV's have (yet) very meaningful numbers, set aside Norway (and to a lesser extent Sweden) the large majority of new vehicles seem to be hybrids (either plug-in or not) and traditional cars.
