I think most of us is stuck on that part. If I keep my present car, how long will it take for me to recover my initial outlay of >$70K for a new EV or Tesla. What your figures tell me is that after 8 years of savings, I still have to put out $35K now.

Used EVs hold their value a lot better though. so after 5-6 years ownership, you might still be able to sell the Tesla for 25k+. 10k to operate a new high-tech vehicle isn't to bad if it can be stretched out for 5-6 years.
