The actual cost of running a car. Electric vs Petrol vs Hybrid

I want to know the actual cost of running a car over a 10 year period. I know there are a lot of videos and finfluencers online that say that electric cars are cheaper. But given they need battery replacement after a period. Which is the most economical option?

Battery replacement would still be cheaper than fuel based engine maintenance plus fuel costs.

Is it really? I know that battery replacement for a two wheeler electric costs as much as petrol for 3 years (~25k). Can you help me with a run down with numbers?

It's subjective and depends on how much you travel and use the car tbh. If it's frequent/daily use then hybrid or fuel might be at par with electric. Also depends on ev charging stations and infra around you.

Why not considering Petrol+CNG?

In CNG: ~₹3/km
