There’s always the cost of gas and maintenance.

When it gets expensive, an EV becomes more competitive.

Maintenance cost are controlled by doing your own, as much as possible. Every car needs lubricants, tires, brake pads, etc.

You'd have to objectively analyze the numbers, but empirically, I just can't see how EVs can compete with small gasoline engine cars on an apples to apples basis.
