"BTW: The price premium for electric is offset by the lower cost of electricity…"

How about depreciation though?

My sense is that after so many years (5?, 8?) an EV is going to be desperate for a new battery. That's, what, $5K (10K?) or more? It's like if an ICE car needed a new engine after 65K miles.

I assume the resell value for an 8-year old electric needing a new battery is close to zilch.

I want an EV, but they have to come way down in price.
