Still, after 442K miles, the cost per mile isn’t bad if that was the original engine.

If you buy an EV new and trade it before the battery warranty (7 years?) is up, the depreciation is going to k**l you (what’s a 7 year old EV worth with a battery replacement coming up soon?). If you keep it and replace the battery, that cost will k**l you. Either way, I it’s pretty hard to make the argument that the savings in gas will be worth it.

And then there’s the little issue of the upgraded electrical generating and infrastructure upgrades to replace the gasoline/diesel energy distribution network considering our electrical grid is barely adequate now. What with vehicle cost, battery cost, depreciation, charging time, limited charging stations, limited range and an inadequate electrical infrastructure, I think it will be a number of decades before EVs replace IC vehicles.
