For most people a plug-in hybrid is more economical. But there is more maintenance and things to go wrong. Gas engines are primal in my opinion, compared to electric motors and an inverter circuit. Just a matter of time till we stop using gas engines.
If you watch the current manufacturing updates for Tesla's cell manufacturing, the EVs will be cheaper than gas in the next five years. And will require zero maintenance besides tires and a couple small things.
I think in 5-7 years (time it takes for scale manufacturing of the new cells) EVs will be cheaper than gas cars in every possible way and people will have no choice but to switch.
