Thinking about electrics in terms of cents/mile... sure the cost of recharge is super low but is it true that lead acid batteries are good for 300-500 recharge cycles? And the replacement battery packs run several hundred dollars? So if one was to run and recharge their ev 1x daily the pack would last 1-1 1/2 years? And if the pack provided 15 miles/charge it would be 15x365 to 548 = 5475-8220 miles; $200/5475-8220 = 2.4-3.7 cents/mile excluding recharge costs.
Pay for gas always in small increments, or pay for electric now, then hardly pay anything while the batt pack is useful, then pay again later?
