I understand converting the cost of electricity to cost/mile and then to equivalent fuel economy. What I'm really wondering is if most of you include a value for battery depletion into your calculations. Since batteries have a limited cycle life, I would think they should be included as a fuel cost. I was reading an article from a guy with an EV Honda Civic that figured that, even though he only spent $40/year on electricity, when his battery costs were factored in, his cost/mile was actually higher as an EV than when the car was on gas. Just wanting to hear what your thoughts are.
