Currently for me it's cheaper to buy gas than drive electric.
It's only cheaper if you are well off, have you own drive lane and can charge off solar panels, might even be cheaper without the solar panels but if you can afford your own drive lane or parking spot you have those as well. Here in NW Europe that's a minority and the vast majority does not have this advantage.
Also Europe has more expensive petrol prices than the US in general, that calculation is aggressively region-dependent.
The real kicker is GP is correct, mostly. You don't have to do much for optimization for the day-to-day operating costs to be less, but you do have to generally be wealthy enough to own your own home with a garage to install a charger in (or be super lucky and have one at an apartment, which is quite uncommon still).
So the electric cars will keep improving their position relative to ICE. (I don't want to express any opinion on whether they are better or worse at the moment than ICE already.)
But I guess some people live in SV? I'm in Singapore, for what it's worth.
