This graph doesn't factor in the savings from maintenance. Purely electric vehicles have 1/10 the moving parts which means less wear and tear. There are no oil changes, very little brake wear because of regenerative braking and in some cases no service schedule. Modern electric vehicles have batteries that can last 15-20 years.
