My guess is that this is highly dependent on where you live, incentives/subsidies, local infrastructure, electricity cost.

Based on the car presented by OP, Skoda Enyaq, I'm guessing they're in Europe where electricity is expensive.

If the charging infrastructure isn't there, both at home/work and fast chargers, BEVs most likely suck.

Gasoline and Diesel is also very pricey. If you charge at home, electric cars are a (small) fraction of the price to ‘fill up’, even in Europe; if not, likely not worth it.
