I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

My state hits you with a tax you can pay per mile or once a year with registration, and was fairly expensive, so not really true here.

That sounds sensible. Car use is heavily subsidized, so someone is paying for those miles. It makes sense that a greater proportion of that cost falls on the driver.

At least in Georgia, I actually pay more in "gas tax" by owning an EV because I just don't drive enough but the yearly cost doesn't reflect miles driven

Yeah you’re subsidizing other people to drive their car more, and you’re being incentivized to drive more.
