EVs are currently more expensive than fossil counterparts, but that is projected to change in time as economies of scale start influencing the manufacturing costs.

Service and operational costs are already lower on EVs than fossils, and that is unlikely to change significantly.

For example, with current gasoline and electricity costs in Norway, powering an EV costs 10% of what a fossil cost per kilometer.

So incentives might be necessary right now, but not for much longer.
