I'd hope so! Years ago I did some fuzzy math with the Spark even though I couldn't buy it. Gas version vs EV at my local rates. A little hypermiling and ecomodding on the gasser. Including rebates, made up but less brutal than it is depreciation, charger installation, saving on belts/oil for the EV, needing to rent something a few times a year for my 500+ mile trips, gas would have to be $9/gal even three years after ownership to break even. To me that was an incredible difference that made me question how far we'd have to go to have EVs on the same platform to save money.
