Handy, Very good point. An exmaple of overall cost of buying and operating a good EV with very good batteries is the RAV4 with over 200 ownered by utilities in California. Many have over 100K mile with only tires replaced. Not 1 failed battery, of course no oil changes, radiators etc. Seems brakes also last virtually forever with regen braking and not much use of the old pads and rotors .

They have costs of 5-6 cents a mile including charging compared to 20-30 cents a mile for gas fleet vehicles. Now if we get some of the new lower cost family EVs available that cost maybe even lower. Any larger truck cost more for tires and won't go as far on a charge.
