Has anyone even SEEN a comprehensive study comparing electric bills before and after the regular use of one of these vehicles and how it compares to the cost of fueling a conventional vehicle?

It's like it's being kept secret.

I work at a consulting engineering company which has a "renewable energy" component. We get magazines from solar, wind, and photovoltaic advocacy organizations. One had a glowing article on electric cars. In it, they were so proud of the fact that the amount of electricity needed to recharge the car overnight was equivalent to “only” the total amount of electricity used during the daytime. I’m not the smartest bulb in the box, but that sounds to me like double the electricity use per day – or double your electricity bill per month.
