Answer
There is not a great deal of experience with electric cars. Clearly operating costs will be less than a petrol car. Calculations suggest that savings from the cheaper operating costs of an EV are likely to exceed additional cost of the vehicle after about 4 to 5 years. .................//
A long life, trouble free vehicle will depend heavily on the use and maintenance. For maintenance costs there is far more experience with electric trolley buses vs diesel powered buses. The electric buses lasted between 2 and 10 times longer than their petrol counterparts. While there is no guarantee that this will hold true with the electric car or with any specific make, the electric vehicle drivetrain is far simpler and almost maintenance free. But even if the drivetrain could give 30 years of trouble free performance the rest of a car may not hold up so well. .................//
If you plan on keeping the vehicle for 7 to 10 years you may have to factor in the cost of a new battery. Probably the most accurate calculation would be to deduct the price of the battery from the initial cost of the vehicle and then amortize the battery cost over the miles driven as if the cost of a new battery was an operating cost. .................//
The largest unknown factor at this point is how well electric vehicles will maintain their value. At this time uncertainty will suggest lower resale values. If the maintenance free track record is proven and better batteries are easily adapted then resale values may rise and could rise substantially if supply is also constrained with some electric vehicles selling used for more than new vehicles. .................//
And so while it is a good question it has no clear answer.
