And don't forget the battery replacement cost - perhaps after 10 years
or 70K miles? I think these hurdles will diminish but they are real for
now.

Better? It's the battery.
The savings in fuel cost will diminish if / when States adopt a tax on
each mile you drive your electric vehicle.
To offset the drop in gas tax revenue due to EV's one State (Oregon)
has already adopted such a tax (1.5 cents per mile) and other's are
considering it.

You didn't account for the roughly 75% reduction in fuel cost to own
an EV. If you compare to a small good quality ICE getting 30mpg,
over its life the EV may save you $15k, $20k more if you drive a lot
and the the cost of fuel rises.
