I'm sorry I wasn't clearer in my initial comment, I was on my phone and it wasn't really clear.
My Mitsubishi space star did cost 14k new. A Zoe, which I picked because it is similar, cost 35k new. So it is 21k more.
There is the best scenario, where I charge only from home, power is 0.3$.
In this scenario, it cost about 4.2$ for 100km.
If I charge outside, power is around 0.8$ here, so it cost 11$ for 100km.
My ice car cost 8.5$ per 100km.
Best case scenario, EV cost 4.3$ less per 100km, to break even with the 21k more in the price, I need to do 488 372 km, which is about 40 years of driving as I do about 12 000km per year.
If I charge outside, this become even less and less interesting.
There is nearly zero used EV. I can buy a 2010 corola for 10k and do 100 000km on it, a tesla model Y is 45k.
Yes but I also factored 100% efficiency for charging. And it's not that much more expensive, everything engine related is free because of the service package I had with the car. With ev you still have to change breaks, and tires (which is the biggest maintenace cost) wear faster on ev because of the weight.
This is different for older used car, I give you that, but it does not cover the big price difference.
I meant tires were the biggest cost in my example, I looked at my invoice.
But anyway I don't want to argue either way, I have no love for ice any more than ev. But I wanted to buy an ev for a year and every time I do the math, I cannot afford it.

My point is, today, buying an EV is a luxury.
