I don't think the comparison is fair. The electricity and ICE fuel costs should be included if the battery is included. The battery is some sort of upfront fuel cost in a way the gas tank isn't. Since mileage wear is proportional to fuel use anyway. | ||

If we were talking cost of ownership, sure. But we're discussing resale value specifically, and it doesn't matter if you spent $25 or $50 "filling it up" last week when you sell it. | ||

I prefer to think of a battery as a transmission since rebuild/replacement costs and inconvenience are comparable. |
