> Seems like a Prius is actually cheaper per mile?

Not if you factor in all the side costs associated with owning an ICE car in maintenance. With an electric car, basically all you have to do is tire exchanges and brake pads - and less of the latter too, because most braking of an electric vehicle is done by regenerative braking so the pads aren't used at all if you're a decent driver.



Well a Prius costs $27K and the model Y $47K, so that is a lot of maintenance!
