It would be nice to know if they took everything into account....costs for raw materials, healthy costs due to pollution, etc. etc. etc. I have not seen an exhaustive, non biased report yet (but would love to see one!)
However, assuming it's true, it's only going to get better over time and the electric car is so much better for almost every use case that it's an obvious choice for the consumer. IMO of course
