First, that's a high power cost - industrial zoned areas often pay less and in many states even consumers pay about 1/3 of that. Then consider that the cost is variable - gas will likely continue to increase while power could get cheaper and reduce co2 per mile emissions as local power production tech is upgraded. Second, investing in EV improves EV adoption rate and support networks. Investing in poor mileage ICE at scale will likely inflate fuel prices for everyone else. When estimating lifetime costs you are simply assuming that prices will stay at current levels when this investment itself could create unfavorable changes to the estimate.
