I'm looking forward to being able to afford one. Yes it is cheaper in the long term -- no I cannot afford the upfront costs.

Where I live there was a subsidy for EV when getting rid of your old car. I'm getting 7k back but my old car was worth maybe 1k so that's 6k off the price of the EV making it the same price as ICE version. In many other places there are different subsidies like this, it's worth checking it out. This helps a lot with the upfront cost.
