I would like to point out that I didn't discuss depreciation as a monetary cost of ownership issue, but as a carbon footprint issue. For example, let's say that the manufacturing footprint of a gasoline subcompact and an EV are roughly equal. Let's say the EV depreciates at twice the rate of the gasoline subcompact. Then the EV has twice the manufacturing footprint.
