An electric car driven 15,000 miles a year would still cost about 540 dollars per year to fuel, so that'd come out to a difference of about 11k - you're correct there about oil changes - but I wouldnt consider cooling systems - most cooling systems go 100,000 miles without maintenance, that also goes for most other major systems in the car - the exception being brakes and oil changes. I fully acknowledge that electric cars appear cheaper to run - I'm expecting additional taxation to appear to null out some of the fuel cost differential however. Bear in mind, I'm not bullish on electric cars - I think once the battery issues have been solved, and the charging network is fully deployed - and once the issue of charging for non-homeowners has been solved - Electric is clearly cleaner and better. I still think Tesla is overvalued for the market it's in (making automobiles), because of its limited potential to capture market share in that (very crowded) market.
