It's not that you didn't/can't calculate, it's that you aren't controlling for anything really. If you want comparable data, you need comparable conditions, which generally means you need some way of...

That's a crazy spread. Here in CA VRFs seems to bottom out around $80/year, but my Prius is worth $7500 and it's only ~$150/year. I have five cars, but I only keep 3 registered (we can pay $15 or so...

Don't molest it, sell it. Even if you don't want to stick a proper set of LFP batteries in there I'm sure someone else will. You can use any pickup with a blown engine for a diesel conversion.
