A Model 3 is cheaper over five years than a Camry Hybrid considering total cost of ownership [1].

The cost to install an EV charging station can be as low as $500, but if it does cost more due to having to have your load center/breaker panel replaced, the US government has a 30% tax credit up to $1000 to offset the costs.

The Tesla Supercharger network is extensive [2], and continues to grow by the week; charging at one takes ~20-30 minutes. Other networks with less coverage are available for Teslas (with an adapter) and non-Teslas alike.

It does't hurt that jurisdictions continue to enact deadlines for combustion vehicle bans [3].
