So in comparison most other typical annual car cost (i.e. repairs, service, running costs etc.) that one off expense is actually quite low.

I just charge my car from the same 240V outdoor socket I use for the lawnmower. Sure that's no good for somebody who can't park in front of their house, but it's false to say you need a dedicated EV charger.

I live in downtown Oslo (capitol of Norway). I park my car on the street, but we have a decent amount of type-2 chargers around so its hardly any trouble.

We’ve charged on a fast-charger three times the past three months, all of those times were on longer trips we usually don’t do.

You don't need a "charging station", you need a wall plug that can handle 8A current without melting. In Finland we have one of those for most private parking spaces for car block heaters.

If you want something fancier, it's 300-1000€ for a "proper" charging station with a Type2 cable. If you've already bought an electric car, it'll pay itself back in a few months just with fuel costs. (EU prices, American fuel prices are just bonkers-cheap).
