Seems to largely depend on your state, but the Ford Lightning EV costs less to run than the F-150 Hybrid and the F-150 ICE vehicle (no surprise). CR ought to have a chart of how many miles you'd have to drive to recover the difference in purchase cost depending on the model!

Consumer Reports finds surprises comparing fuel costs for EVs, hybrids (freep.com)
Well - When I bought my Lightning, a similarly equipped Hybrid (only way to get the larger Pro-Power system) was about $3k less expensive (~$80k vs. ~$77k), but I also got $8k back between federal and state incentives, so 0 miles I guess!
