Hmmm ... people talk about gas vs electric cost to run xxx miles as if it's the end all calculation to consider. That's only ONE thing about owning a vehicle, and certainly not the only cost variable to consider.
We all need to take a step back and look at mining costs, build costs, operating cost, disposal costs at the end of it's useful life. Then compare that cost to fuel driven vehicles that can produce the 'work' that each does comparativey.
We cannot compare total life costs of a small EV car that buzzes around town to work, get groceries and the costs of an EV truck that can tow a 5'er regardless of the time you're willing to spend charging or fueling.
