The gas is almost the cheapest thing. Insurance, maintenance, tires, etc

Yes, but an EV also needs insurance, maintenance, and tires. OP’s post is pointing out a distinction between EVs and ICE vehicles.

Yeah, was thinking more the “2 cars” vs 1. And $70/month to have backup transport may be worth it if it’s paid off. But yes, the EV would be cheaper to run.

Not just a backup transport, but something with a manual transmission. I'll ultimately end up getting an EV, but I don't think I ever want to ditch the MT, it's just a different, and IMO more enjoyable, driving experience.
