Depends on your market. In Oregon, a EV can be had for as low as $2,000. My cost per mile is $0.02 for electricity vs about $0.1 per mile on gasoline. That's 5x cheaper.

Public charging is roughly on par on cost with gasoline, and plenty of people have access to free charging at various places of employment or stores.

EVs with active thermal management will go 15 years without needing battery replacement. That's close to the average lifespan of any vehicle. So, you buy a 5 year old EV for peanuts and then drive it for 10 years with practically no expenses.
