Not yet. With time (and volume) this can get much better.
The whole "Cost(gas car) vs Cost(electric car)" argument is so politically charged that I'm not sure where to find a neutral comparison, if there is one. I think, however, that nobody out there is pushing for sending reasonable efficient modern cars to the crusher to be replaced with electric things.
Kinda want a e-car anyway - I have a 20 mile RT commute, 220V in the garage, 300 days/yr sunshine if we ever go solar and a truck/SUV for all of the silly reasons folded into the "no plugin can meet ALL of my transport needs" excuse. Oh, EV torque is fun too!
