Wouldn’t total cost of ownership be a better measure?

Maintenance, repair, insurance, fuel, residual value.

I would think Tesla’s lower residual value from price declines would result in a poorer(possibly much poorer) showing using a total cost of ownership framework.

And I would think Toyota, especially Toyota plug-in hybrids, would get a strong boost in total cost of ownership rankings.

Wouldn’t an important inflection point for EVs be winning a total costs of ownership comparison with Toyota plug in hybrids?
