The article says at 11 kW it charges in 7.5 hours. That's $7.75 worth of electricity for me. Gasoline over the last year has averaged $2.56/gallon for me.

The article says it gets 250 miles on a charge. To get 250 miles from an ICE car on $7.75 worth of gasoline, that ICE car would need to get 82.6 miles/gallon.

The EV should also require much less routine maintenance than an ICE car.

For a heck of a lot of people, fuel cost per mile and the amount and cost of routine maintenance are among the most important metrics.
