Does those comparisons include the cost of replacing the battery packs?
Some of the hybrids I've looked into have a replacement cost of approx $12k and need to be replaced between 125k-150k miles depending on your driving style. When we figured owning the vehicle long enough to require at least one replacement, the scales greatly tipped in favor of the ICE equivalent.
I'm just wondering if this is also true for EVs.
