I’m aware a few auto CEOs predict electric cars will soon be cheaper to own and operate. I can see that in a few years, but also think the larger trucks and RVs which often travel longer distances will take longer.

Well
you can get one for under $1000 LOL but I'm sure that isn't what you're asking.
Counting the $7500 tax rebate you can pick up a Hyundai Ioniq Electric for around $20k.
Its around the same for the latest Nissan Leaf (about $23k after the $7500 rebate).
Granted you take the $7500 off your income taxes and not the car's price (thus if you don't owe or haven't paid $7500 in taxes then you don't get that credit).
So we're not quite there yet on purchase price...
Owning and operating we're already well under: my Bolt only costs me about $50 in electricity for 1000 miles/month driving. Only other maintenance has been the occasional tire rotation and so far I haven't paid for one..Chevy keeps comping me the rotations!?
