They are not cheap, a leaf or bolt is a POS entry level car which a gas version would be only 20k for the same car fully loaded. You also use california prices, some people are located in areas without high gas tax and have winter to deal with.
The car would have to cost $14,000 just to match the total cost of operation. Doesn't matter the state. We can use Texas. In Lubbock we can get our electricity for $0.095/kWh and our gas for $1.63 at Costco. At those prices one gallon of gas costs as much as 17 kWh of electricity. That's enough to drive 75 - 85 miles. What $20,000 gas car gets 75 - 85 mpg?
