If we're going to continue doing capitalism, we need to celebrate when people who are responsible for quality products are paid comfortably but not so much that their pay disrupts other peoples' status.
Those units don't describe the same thing. Not to mention eMPG is arbitrary and not a particularly useful or accurate way to describe much of anything.
If what you're looking for is cost to operate, it's about 3 cents per mile on home charging and about 8.5 cents on DCFC. I tend to average 250 Wh/mi.
Trunk of the car is fine if you just head straight home. That's out of mic range. And your employer is going to know your home address anyway so location access is whatever.
Every single person who spouts shit about EV fires also spends well over 20 hours a day with exactly the same battery technology six inches from their genitalia.
...they sleep with those batteries next to their faces.
...they abuse the hell out of the containers those batteries sit in. Drops, overheating, extreme temperatures, overcharging.
...most of them have multiple batteries in multiple devices on them. You stick them in your fucking ears. You wear them on your wrists.
But it's the car that's dangerous. Definitely the car. Not the bomb next to your dick.
Pretty much all BEVs are single speed direct drive. You should reserve judgment till you drive one.
1 pedal driving actually feels more like a manual than an automatic. The regenerative braking feels like engine braking (because it is). I vastly prefer driving a a BEV with 1 pedal driving to a manual transmission in city traffic or on hills - the two of which make up the majority of my driving. I also vastly prefer driving a manual to driving an automatic in the same situations. Automatics legitimately feel unsafe to me by comparison - they WANT to run away from you going down hills and rear end the people in front of you.
Same thing people said about automatic transmissions and cruise control. Non-issue.
EDIT: Don't bother arguing. I get it, you don't like Elon. Shit on him all you want. If you want to criticize a car, learn what you're talking about first.
Buddy of mine has a Fiat 500e and it's surprisingly non-gadgety. If you don't need cargo, more than one passenger, or out of town range it's probably exactly what you want.
Doesn't have one pedal driving though. At least his doesn't. That's a no-brainer feature on an EV.

700k very much qualifies in today's world.
Stop being crabs in a bucket.
