Ish. I mean, they absolutely are the latest, brightest, shiniest things - a long way from the costliest, but they're very expensive.
Where they come in is in a comparison with large, possibly turbo-charged petrol engines, and they're bought by the same people who'd buy them, and for the same reasons - they're very fast, very powerful cars.
They're absolutely not bought because electric is greener, they're bought because electric is faster.
