I've probably said it before, and no doubt will have to say it again, EV is less about cost efficiency than about trying to protect the future.
Will we already have to be at the mad max point, before people understand that oil won't last forever?
And while the first party economics may look grim, try that again with the secondary market vehicles.
I bought a 3 year old 40k+ vehicle for ~15k. Whether it was initially overpriced, or undervalued at 3 years, who can say.
I plan to drive it till the wheels fall off or the last cell gives up the ghost.
it still may or may not beat a pure gas vehicle, but it is heading the direction where we need to get to.
and to Uwe's point above, the PHEV's looks like they will continue to be a more economical option for the near future anyway.
