I thought they were supposed to be safer and less expensive to repair.

I think you are confusing routine maintenance with collision damage.
The cost of
maintaining an EV is lower bc there is virtually nothing to service. No oil changes, spark plugs, fuel lines, belts, etc. EVs have only brakes, tires and cabin filters to deal with, at roughly the same cost as other cars.
Collision damage is indeed more expensive to repair on an EV. No one ever stated otherwise. If you think they did in attempt to mislead anyone, please provide a link to the misinformation.
