“Typical mid-priced ICE car drivers paid about $11.29 to fuel their vehicles for 100 miles of driving,” the study noted . “That cost was around $0.31 cheaper than the amount paid by mid-priced EV drivers charging mostly at home, and over $3 less than the cost borne by comparable EV drivers charging commercially.”

Misleading, at best. My Tacoma averages around 17mpg and my last fill at Sams was $3.65/gallon. To drive 100 miles / 17mpg = 5.88 gallons 5.88 gallons * $3.65/gallon is $21.46

Now when I compare $21.46 against the baseline of $8.29, it seems like I'm paying more than double. So, let's take a family car that gets 30 mpg. 100/30=3.33 3.33 gallons x $3.65 = $9.17; this is getting break even.

When do you think we'll see gas below $2 again? This article is misleading, first off, I question the AVERAGE cost of an ICE at $11.39 to drive 100 miles. This means the AVERAGE car gets better than 30 mpg. Secondly, the cost to charge an entire EV at home is closer to $25. Thirdly, the EV is heavier so it does incur more tire wear; however there are no oil changes, no radiator nor brakes that need to be serviced. These can be significant cost savings.

A lot has been said about battery replacement, this article describes battery degradation with range, on a 400K mile Tesla. Batteries have gotten significantly better over the years. https://electrek.co/2020/06/06/tesla-battery-degradation-replacement/
