This is a blatantly false statement. The cost of charging an EV is almost always hundreds of dollars less a year than operating an equivalent gas-powered vehicle, according to a new report from Consumer Reports. Additionally your original brakes will likely last for the life of the car (unless you are a very aggressive driver), you don't have to pay for oil changes or transmission repair, etc., etc.

Perhaps you don't understand how they work, I do however, I've had an EV for 9.5 years.
Your statement is not true and folks reading this deserve truthful information.
