One thing that is keeping me from getting EV is infrastructure cost.

Sure, maintenance is going to be cheaper and cost per km/mile lower, but there is simply not enough infrastructure where I live to charge the car. Friend of mine got EV. He lives in modern apartment where there are 2 charging stations for like 200 cars/garage. He was ecstatic year ago where he would charge whenever he want and it was free (due to subsidies) but now has to queue in own garage in order to charge it at all.

Based on anecdotes from colleagues it takes them ~10-20h every month to charge their cars. It also creates a mental load of "oh, where and when I'll charge my car next". To a ludicrous degree that some even can't plan life activities because they plan for their car to charge. If I put even like half of my hourly rate on the time spent maintaining car's charge calculations aren't attractive as they might seem.

On top of it sales of EVs grow much faster than infrastructure. With energy crisis looming I have my doubts.

That being said, had I had a house, I wouldn't care and take one.

Yeah, it’s not smart to rely on public chargers, especially when L2 charging still takes a while and L3 is so expensive. (Almost 4x residential)

I have 8 EV chargers in my work building, and they all fill up.
