They take longer to charge than a combustion vehicle would take to fill the tank, for sure. At least for Tesla it's usually along the lines of 10-30 minutes for a charge. You can charge to 100% at a DC fast charger, but charging is fastest from 20-80% so most people try to keep it there between charges on a road trip.
For day-to-day local driving you just charge overnight when the vehicle isn't in use. Home charging can take up to 10 hours if you're charging from close to zero, depending on your vehicle and equipment. It's usually faster with a higher amperage EVSE. Neither situation costs more than gasoline in any market that I can think of.
EVs have plenty of disadvantages, but if you're going to highlight them, get it right. :) They require more planning than traditional vehicles. Cold weather can impact range a lot, especially without said planning. The initial purchase cost is higher.
They also have lower maintenance costs. That doesn't mean much to most people who are willing to pay the higher up front costs, but with lower maintenance cost comes lower maintenance effort. You just don't have to do much to them. The performance on many models is just insane. It's a pleasant driving experience.
THAT SAID, let the free market take care of it. We don't need to be regulated or incentivized into buying EVs or any of this green energy bullshit. Tesla keeps selling more and more and Elon became the richest person on earth, long after their tax incentives/subsidies ran out.
