Wow, those are significant savings - up to 70% for the Leafs and the Tesla. In Canada it would be even larger considering how much more our gas costs.

I guess the next thing to look at is the capital costs. Cost of electric vs closest gas cousin, resale values, ect….

Cost of electric vs closest gas cousin,

Current thinking is $10k to $15k above parity with ICE.

Not TCO, just purchase price.

Not sure about today, but last year my son looked into a used Leaf, VERY CHEAP!
They leased many of them when gas was high, gas came down as the lease ended...

He drives 100 miles each way every day. Typically less than two hours.
I would walk 10-15 minutes to the train station, then one hour on the train then 15-20 walk... An hour and a half plus, door to door.
