My wife's comparison:

2023 WRX/GTI: $40k. $2/L @ 15k km/yr = $3k in fuel/yr or $250/month. $800/mo financing before tax over 60 months + gas = $1050/mo before taxes.
2023 Model 3: $60k. $1200/mo financing before tax over 60 months. Model 3 @ $55k = $1100/mo before taxes which is basically equivalent to the ICE car before factoring in other consumables and maintenance. But if the Model 3 is $55k (ie. the i4, ev6, ioniq5, etc), then it qualifies for the ~8k rebate which makes it significantly cheaper.

Remove the rebate and the breakeven point between and ICE and EV Sedan is $15k (over 5 years) in our books. Include the rebate, and the breakeven point is $23k (over 5 years).

Civic sport @ $32k is roughly equivalent to a $50-55k EV (with rebates) over 5 years, which is basically a long-range AWD ioniq5 or ev6.
