FWIW I haven't found some of these to be the case for me. The insurance for my EV was maybe a few bucks/month more expensive than it would've been for a Prius, but my car was also a bit pricier than a Prius. I don't have charging at home, but the L2 charging around me is reasonably priced. Equivalent to buying gas for $2/gallon (and I live in a place with pricy gas, around $5-6/gallon). L3 chargers can be closer to gas prices, but they're only necessary on very long road trips which I rarely do
