So what?

Battery costs are still falling and the typical cost of a battery in a mid range EV is about 6000 USD. For the battery to lose 30% of capacity, it takes 10 years. So your amortized cost (crude) for 10 years is about 400 USD per year.

I am sure the gas costs will be much more than that, compared to EV running costs.

Still a great deal.
