Not at all. Far less to fill a car sized tank that keep pouring water over the car that then drains away.Wasting water!

Electric vehicle owner learns replacing a tail light costs over $4,000
“The taillights in the Hummer EV have small microcontrollers installed within them. These chips control unique lighting functions in their respective lights,” the Drive suggested as a reason for the high price. “Additionally, the Hummer EV is a fairly limited-run vehicle thus far, meaning parts are generally more expensive until economies of scale kick in.”

Well, it's Hummer by GM, sooooooo. What's going to be interesting to see is how Silverado platform fairs since it's built on the same underlying unibody concept. I suspect the only way they buy range is with a gargantuan battery.

It is already disconcerting to think of high loan amount needed for the EV, the cost of retrofitting one's home for the EV, and now needing a bank loan for standard repairs. The average family is not going to be able to afford an EV and will no longer have a choice of keeping maintaining their fossil fueled vehicles. Scary times.

Cost for outfitting for charging will be a pretty big variable. Most homes built after say 80 have the capacity, but layout matters. My rental, where the panels in the house and the garage is 20 feet away, will cost a bit. My own house, where the main panel is just one wall away from the garage, that would cost considerably less. And I wouldn't base your repair estimates on the Hummer. A Model 3 tail light should cost less than $500 if you have them send a tech out, about half that if you buy Ebay or junkyard parts and do it yourself.
And no, we don't have truly affordable EVs yet, that's a couple five years down the road, I think. If the Model 3 battery life works out as its supposed to, used ones of those should be in the low 30s in a few years and good to go for years after that.
Saw a headline on another forum that read (in paraphrase) EV owners are shocked that a battery replacement can cost $20,000.

And they should be. But the two high profile cases of that recently have been sort of red herrings. Older cars made in limited quantities with little to no spares ever made so the high price was really "Eff you" money since it couldn't really be obtained.
Cars made in the hundreds of thousands, those packs will both spur a cottage or larger repair industry and less expensive packs due to scale. And like engines, most people will not own a car long enough to need a new pack. They should last 200-500k, and if its damage, that's insurance, and up toil 8 years or 100, the makers is on the hook.

I'm still holding out in hopes the Aptera comes to fruition. Every day that goes by, there is better and better news on their progress towards production. Cost starts at $26,900 for a base model, mine is about $36k. I opted for a 400 mile battery pack, custom skin coat, 3-wheel drive and few other things. They are a huge believer in 'right to repair', so I'm hoping parts won't be outrageous. They are also building it as a vehicle to last, not wear out and need to be scrapped.
Unlike other EVs, it has solar cells which give it up to 40 miles of range per day. Since the estimate for most people is 30 miles or less, many people won't need to actually plug in to recharge. They are also going to have an optional external solar panel kit for additional charging. I bought extra solar panels before they announced this, so I'm hoping I can still use my own panels. Just to be on the safe side, I've already extended my dryer outline line into the garage for 30A 240VAC level 2 charging, but I'll have to buy whatever adapters will be needed. Right now, it appears they will be using the Tesla plug.
Again, still not in production, estimate for mine is between 2023 and 2024. It's only a 2 seater, minimal creature comforts, but for me it will be perfect. Won't be so good for a family, too small, but they are laying the ground work for affordable.

That's not a light bulb. That's the entire tail light assembly.
