Probably referring to total cost savings, not just fuel savings. As mentioned other places in this thread, electric motors have less/simpler maintenance needs than ICE engines and the TOTAL labor/parts/fuel savings is probably where the 1/5 or 1/10 claims come in.

Possibly. I was responding to "the fuel cost advantage is claimed to be 10x" though.
