RE:Electric cars to run-really cheaper?Not every region is the same. Where you live seems to be very different from where I live, Montreal.
Here, there are charging stations in the parking lots of supermarkets, shopping malls, and theaters, where you can recharge for FREE. Charging stations in street parking cost a couple dollars per charge. Meanwhile, refueling the SUV this weekend cost me $105.
Europe's gas prices are even higher than they are here, sometimes twice as high. And most people recharge their cars at home overnight, which is the low time for energy demand. This allows them to take advantage of lower elecricity prices.
And finally, no one I know drives anywhere close to 2,000 miles per month. So there are many places in the world where an EV makes a lot more sense than where you live.

From a recent study:
"$38.50 for a Model Y Long Range AWD to drive 1,000 miles per month. Voila!"
Most people drive about 2,000 miles per month. So ball parking it: a gas car that requires two fill ups a month at $50 per will cost $100 to fuel versus,let's round up, $80 for the electric. So to save $20 per month you gotta have a charging station, find one, have hassle, etc. Plus the darn things are much more prone to blowing up on you or running you into a collision!
No folks, oil will be around for a long time and Recaf oil will only grow more valuable!
