Since this study was done in Europe where they have a lot cleaner electricity than we do (lots of nuclear) I would guess that break even number is way higher in the USA, like 150K.
Given that very few Americans keep cars more than 80-90K miles this is a landmark finding. The tech is always changing and improving, but in the USA we are WAY behind on building any infrastructure to make electric cars viable. It's not the charging stations, it's how we make power. We need to be building like 20 nuclear plants like 20 years ago.
