Look at that, electric cars are cheaper to buy/operate... including the Netherlands...

Yes, Look at that, Another media article held out as proof of something done by a biased organisation that do not show how their figures were derived.
Worth less than the electrons used to publish it.
Show me the numbers and calculations if these reports are to be believed. They could say anything if you cherry pick the conclusions.
Maybe EV's are cheaper to run in Europe but because they are not here and I have to the calcs, I'll need to see their numbers to be convinced of that.
It's not automatically dismissing something I don't want to believe, it's a case of not providing enough info to prove I might be wrong.
I have crunched the numbers before and just in running costs to travel any distance over 1500 Km which is where the free charging amount ran out, the tesla WAS more expensive. Maybe they saw where I had shown that on various forums. They seem to have taken their cost Milage comparison off the site now.
Was pretty obvious. using their figures which were surprisingly accurate as to fuel and electricity costs here, once you took away the free charge factor or calculated on the 2nd 1500 KM, they came out more exy.
Of course that dosent take into account the cost and repayments/ interest of a $120K car here as against a very comparable ICE you could get for half that or less.
$60 K still buys a lot of fuel and servicing.
I was reading yesterday where some in the industry are saying that EV's will achieve price parity with ICE's by 2025.
We'll wait and see if that comes off, sounds like complete and utter BS to me but in any case, it just means the EV you buy today is going to loose a shipload of resale value in 5 years time which would be another factor to enter in to the equation and a damn good reason not to rush into an EV for a while yet.
