If you do 200,000 miles over those 10 years on a 20mpg car with $5/gallon gas, that's $50K in gas for your $17k car. I assume your numbers are lower, but it's not hard to see how TCO for an EV can be cheaper for many.

My electric company just introduced a 2.9c/kWh overnight rate. At 4 miles/kWh, that works out $1450 for 200,000 miles.
