If I use your example,
- 75 kw battery to full is $30.75 and it's $10.25 per 100 miles;
- 2 gallons for ICE to travel 100 miles, it would be $12.8 per 100 miles.
So electric car would be a clear winner. If I factor in charging at 80% efficiency, it's $12.3 - only a $0.5 difference.
And the country I live in has the 4th highest energy price in the entire block.
Two points I would also consider
1- the service cost of an ICE car would be higher in a long run compared to the electric one due to higher complexity and more moving parts.
2- electric's car battery will wear down overtime and it will probably run less during winter.
I don't have much data though to elaborate on those points.
