Please stop posting proven incorrect media.

Educate yourself. If you don’t know basic math and cost per kWh, then here’s a calculator.

https://www.inchcalculator.com/electric-vehicle-charging-cost-calculator/

type in 82 kwh for the battery. My cost in Texas is 9 cents a KWH.
It will show you that the cost to recharge at my house is $7.38

A Tesla Model 3 has an 82 kWh battery and a range of 333 miles
So that is is 2.2 Cents a mile in energy cost.
On the other had, consider if I drive my 2017 Ford Mustang GT 5.0.
I get 18 MPG (it’s a standard) - I just filled up yesterday for $45.32, and my car said 310 mile range. So that’s 14 cents a mile in energy costs.

It cost me roughy 7x if I drive the mustang per mile in energy costs.
Also my oil changes are ~110$ every 5,000 miles.

If you don’t educate yourself, you will fall victim to being led around by the nose.

Your cost per mile cost is misleading. I can’t speak to your intention, but the relevant measure is Fully Loaded Cost. Someone has trademarked a True Cost Per Mile measurement.
We know peeps that have a solar roof. Is the cost per mile for the -0-?
LOL
The cost for the first trip after the roof was installed was $46,000 (net after tax credits).
You can slice it, and dice it and put rice on it.
But cost per mile comparisons need to be scrutinized very carefully.

Since you conveniently left out the capital depreciation costs per mile I’d say you need educate yourself as to the real cost per mile of vehicle ownership

Toyota estimated that 90 hybrid batteries can be made from the same amount of raw materials as one EV battery and that those hybrids will reduce emissions 37 times more over their lifetime than one EV (McParland, 2023).

Is that information also incorrect?
