I’m not an expert on electric cars, but retired from a Auto Plant after 38 yrs. helped! Like I tell everybody, do what you want but don’t cry about it after you spend lots of money on one.Do your homework!
OKay, so, you claim there are hidden expenses to owning an EV. Then don't tell us. It seems it would be easy enough to list a few of them if there are a lot.

Then you say you are not an expert, but worked in an Ice factory. Helped! (not sure why that matters or what it means.)

On the other hand, numerous Tesla owners have posted on these constantly repeating threads, and in EVERY case they are more than satisfied at how inexpensive the EVs are to own.

Police departments (obviously hard on cars) are testing Tesla's and in every case are happy with the cost savings and are typically ordering more to replace the ICE vehicles they traditionally used. Schools are buying EV Buses because they are so my more Inexpensive to own and operate. And on and on.

But, "THEY are not telling us the truth"

Hmmm, who to believe.
