Granted, the Volt has a lot more utility and is almost certainly more comfortable.

Something lost in your calculation is how easy an ev is to hypermile.
In the summer I get about 65-70 miles per charge and off the wall is about 12kw to charge my 10.5kwhr battery
Considering the gas side is basically impossible to hypermile to almost twice EPA I have a feeling your calculations leave out an ev superpower.
I'm a pretty good hypermiler and have never gone more than 50% over EPA on any of my gas cars day in and out. (Yes I know some are easier than others)
If you include this your calculations change, maybe not enough in your case but for many it would cover up day to day cost variation gas vrs electric
