"too cold"
I'm ashamed of you.

Let's say it costs 10% more to travel in an EV.
Let's say 30 miles per gallon at a cost of $3.30 per gallon. Stick to the average of 15,000 miles travels a year.
That's $1,650 for gasoline each year. 1,815. Ah, but then there's oil changed. fifty bucks three times a year. 1,800 for gasoline. Ah, damn, faster brake wearing, so there's an added expense. Crap! Transmission fluid & filter!
The list of maintenance costs with gasoline vehicles is long.
The list of maintenance costs with EVs is short.
Not only is it less money, it's more time for the owner to spend dealing with literally anything else.
But let's look at a comparison from the calculator. 2023 Bolt & 2023 Civic.

Buying a new vehicle, each one costing the same, an EV costs less to own. That's just a fact.
