LOL! um, negative ghostrider!

Including amortizing the cost of the car, higher insurance, maintenance,
and the cost of electricity in your home bill. . .

I don't think so. . .
Electric Vehicles vs. Gas Cars: Total Cost of Car Ownership | Money

Overall, AAA estimates you'll spend $9,119 annually owning an electric vehicle that you drive for 15,000 miles in a given year. That figure includes costs related to power (electricity) and maintenance, as well as financing, registration, fees, insurance and depreciation, and it's based on fairly inexpensive EVs

while a small SUV would cost you $8,362,
, think Subaru Outback or equivalent, which is most comparable to the size and capacity of the EV.
