If you REALLY want to compare costs between ICE and EV solutions, fine. Remove ALL government subsidies, tax breaks, kickbacks, and deductions both solutions are getting right now, and just tell me what it costs a consumer.
The fossil fuel industry is the most subsidized thing in history. Let's do this! Though if we did it all at once, civilization would probably collapse.
That will tends to say a lot about the overall cost of the new compared to the old.
EVs are the old. At first there were far more EVs than ICEVs because of the lack of availability of fuel. Anyone could assemble a state of the art battery back then, and it was much easier to generate electricity than to refine gasoline. That part is still true!
