You’re looking at one small section of what comprises TCO (total cost of ownership). EVs employed in this type of use case have a fantastic ROI vs legacy. It could cost double in energy costs and still save money over the lifecycle of the product. The only real argument against it is infrastructure, which is going to need to be built out eventually either way. For that reason, a transitional approach would be prudent, starting with dense urban routes and gradually expanding towards less dense routes. In some areas, gasoline powered vehicles may make more sense for decades. But you have to look at the entire picture not just what does fuel cost.
