As a percentage of the cost of a new EV, I doubt they are that

what is going to cost money is installing the infrastructure needed to
power them.

I think that may be over estimated. All the houses here already have an 80
amp supply. No restrictions via the main feeders on how much you use of
that in practice. And peak demand - cooking etc - is likely to be at the
same sort of times. So charging a car overnight may well not overload the
feeders. It's not as if everyone will need to charge every car from empty
to full every single day.

I was thinking of the infra-structure needed for supplies at the edge of
the road for those who park there.
