Cost per mile over 10 yr life?



Anyone know a number for cost per mile for a typical small car over 10
years, incl cost, insurance, repairs, oil, gas? I ran some numbers and
came up with 32 cents a mile. I used 60 mi a day/ 1 hr a day. Then I
ran similar numbers on an electric vehicle with a 30KWHr battery pack,
same 60 mi 1 hr a day, included numbers for replace battery pack
several times in the 10 yr life, use 12 cents/KWHr to compute cost/mi,
got 16 cents/mi. So EV cost per mile is half what a car is? Sounds like
a win. Somebody build one!
