Is it really ? Did you try doing the calculation ?

I got an electric car and everyone who don't own an EV is telling me the same thing. But when I do the calculation even in expensive charger it's still cheaper per km compared to an ICE.

However public charger will always be more expensive than a charger at home.

Edit; I'm not in the UK do I don't know the situation there.

Wife did the maths yes. We were looking to get one through a work scheme.

If we could home charge it would win hands down. Without that sadly not.
