The fuel for her previous vehicle, a TURBO Kia Soul, cost us $425 per month when gas was still cheap. The electricity for the EV cost us $73 per month average.

Let me know how much the new owner will need to pay for a replacement battery pack (and the disposal of the old one), if they're available. Might be more than the car is worth...
