The Nissan Leaf battery costs $230 per kWh. Also, what's the basis for you saying this? EVs are already much cheaper to own and operate than gasoline vehicles.

It is great that Nissan's battery costs are down to that level. Yes, electric energy is cheaper than gas or diesel. No EVs are much more expensive to buy and even with the cheaper fuel cost are more expensive to own over their useful life.
If your statement were true, people would be buying EVs, but they are not outside of wealthy Tesla fanboys and enviro conscious greens.

The cost of maintaining an EV is also much less than that of an ICE vehicle.
No, you can attribute that to ignorance and the lack of an inexpensive, long range EV.
