Let's say you drive 10k miles per year and you're getting 20mpg that's 500gal of fuel per year. If gas is $5/ gal that's $2500 per year. Let's say I can get a car that gets 40 miles per gallon. Over ten years I'm saving $12k so I'd need to spend less than $12k on a car in order to save money. Idk what the cost of electric is over the cost of gas but I know that I can't get an electric car for less than $12k that isn't going to need an expensive battery replacement in the near future.
