Sucky part is the undiscussed $4-6K home charging station installation (which could easily double if the install requires a new service panel).

FYI, chargers have come down quite a bit. You can get a variety of Level 2 EV chargers for
well under $1000.
https://www.amazon.com/Level-2-Charger/s?k=Level+2+Charger9.6KW is kinda standard, and just needs someone to add a breaker and a range plug to your garage. You can get a 11.5KW charger, but that needs to be hardwired, which (if you hire an electrician) will add a bit of cost. Either way if your panel can support the 50 amp/240 circuit, you should be able to have the most powerful charger available for your house installed in the $1000-$1500 range. Hell, even Tesla's 11.5KW wall charger is only $400.
If you need a new panel, or have aluminum wiring, that's a different matter.
ETA: I clicked around and the Lightning actually comes with a 9.6KW Level 2 charging cord, which you can pug into your dryer plug, or add a plug, and the big battery one comes with a charging station. The station is capable of 19.2 KW(!) of charging, which I assume will need a pair of 50A 240AC circuits, similar to the tankless water heaters.
Does the F-150 Lightning come with a charge cord?
The Ford F-150 Lightning includes the 30A Mobile Power Cord, which allows you to charge from a traditional 120V or a 240V outlet. The F-150 Lightning with extended-range battery includes the 80A Ford Charge Station Pro as charging equipment. This allows a peak charging power of 19.2kW enabled by the extended-range’s dual onboard chargers, which means a full charge from 15-100% in about 8 hours**. For all F-150 Lightning home charging installation questions and needs, go to Sunrun.com. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
