Not that you have bothered to show us your calculations.

https://pod-point.com/guides/electric-car-vs-petrol-car-cost-comparison-in-2024?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_4S3BhAAEiwA_64YhiPZWvyTJXK_rDvTwGF4EV8_06OHAjhgHsfYEukLpko6G2r3IHrERRoCD9sQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

does suggest that you have got it wrong.

Figuring in the depreciation of the battery is legitimate, but you have 
to compare it with the depreciation of a internal-combustion-engined car 
which is also pretty dramatic, and you haven't bothered to do that either.
