Yeah, I assume the price will inevitably fall as more and more people switch.

Fast chargers still work out about the same cost per mile as petrol. The advantage of charging at home is it makes motoring substantially cheaper per mile than it previously has been. I don't know how that's meant to be a good thing.
(we're not far away from the day when EVs are cheaper to build than ICE, so no one needs incentivising)

I think the key thing missing from the argument of having EV cable gullies on the footways is that it ignores the speed of technology. Look at how far battery tech and range has come in 5 years. Good EVs are now nearly at the range of ICE cars, and can charge very very quickly.
The enormous cost and massive disruption of tearing up the nations footways would take a decade, and by that time ordinary affordable EVs will go 400 miles between a charge that takes 15 mins, same as topping up at the petrol station now.
