I ran the numbers for here in CA. Even just comparing Gasoline pump cost vs Electric charging costs, the electrics are roughly equivalent to a car that gets 45mpg. Maintentance is of course cheaper for electrics because they don't need oil changes or timing belts or spark plugs but that doesn't mean electrics don't have expensive maintenance plans attached if sold as Teslas.

Right now Electrics still cost about 10K more than their gasoline counterparts.

Overrall, I still think a Toyota Prius with 55mpg will be cheaper to run overrall than an Electric, taking into account total cost of ownership.

Yeah when the Leaf first came out I was checking against CA power rates. CA electricity is so prohibitively expensive I would have had to get a solar installation just to afford charging my car. Ended up sticking with my old 90' Honda Civic that got 35 mpg
