Electric vehicle charging cost
Interesting article, Gas is cheaper to fuel than a Tesla, which on top of charging cost, has a battery which apparently depreciates $1000 a year. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4160351-tesla-model...

The article is misleading in that there is no mention whatsoever of the significant routine maintenance advantage enjoyed by electric cars. The author points to battery depreciation as being the big cost difference while ignoring that many conventional vehicles incur major engine or transmission repair costs within the ten year battery life span.
Hard to believe a guy who presents himself as a financial analyst specializing in the auto industry, i.e. an expert, would miss something like that.
