Those are the huge strengths of an EV. Lower cost/time of maintenance, refueling from home, and low cost per mile.
EVs need those huge advantages because they suffer 1 serious disadvantage, and it's the battery. Essentially it's a $10,000 fuel tank, that doesn't hold very much fuel, takes a long time to fill, needs environmental conditioning, shrinks (degrades) over time, and weighs a lot.
