The reporterette forgot to add in the up-front cost of the vehicle. This is not a fair comparison.
“The reporterette forgot to add in the up-front cost of the vehicle. This is not a fair comparison.”
totally ... you either have to include lost investment opportunity if you pay cash, or include interest payments i you take out a loan, which pretty much amount almost to the same thing ...
in addition, you have to include sale/salvage/disposal value at the end of the comparison period (or likely COST to dispose of an EV that is worthless)
Finally, one has to compare expected maintenance and repair costs ...
add all this in and NOT buying an EV is a no-brainer from a financial standpoint ...
