If you buy new then I agree, EVs are still expensive versus an ICE equivalent. However, there is a lot of pressure on price from both Tesla and the Chinese manufacturers. As a result second hand values have reduced. As an example, a 2/3 year old VW e-Up/Seat Mii electric/Skoda Citigo-e with around 15k miles can be had for £12k now. More expensive than a similar aged petrol for sure, but getting affordable.
