How Cheap Can Electric Vehicles Get?
So you get an electric model of the same car. It costs about double. Even if fuel prices double/triple, you can easy fill up at least for 10 years off the difference. Now, ask yourself how often do you replace your car. :)

The question is what is the lifespan of the car, and the total cost of ownership over that period, not how long a single person owns a car.

Well, you have to replace the battery after about 10 years. And yes, maybe the resale value is more important.
