Does anyone know how much a well and running electricity to a mobile costs?

I have a spot of land but I dont know what other costs I am looking at after I buy the home.

On the cost of obtaining service contact the electric supplier where your home will be and ask for an engineering site visit so they can determine that cost.

Contact a well driller that has drilled in your area.
Cost depends on depth and ground you are drilling in (Sand Dirt or Rock)

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Some area's don't have water, or it's too deep to make it feasible.
We have a well with the water table 10' underground with unlimited water. 100 yard away our only neighbor's well can barely get enough water to make pressure. She had to put in a huge system of collection tanks and accumulators to get enough water to take a shower.
One mile away, the water is over 300'. The post to get someone that has drilled in the area is good advice.
Your electric depends on your COOP or may be covenants. Some require underground, which is more expensive, or overhead which is cheaper but less reliable in storms.

I'm in moderately sandy soil; when I had a well drilled a couple of years ago, they found water at about 50'. Cost me just a touch under $7k.

Go direct to the driller and not to a "well man." If you go to a well man he'll hire the driller and upcharge you and make a profit.

Not always. My well man has his own drilling rig. He drilled a new well for my neighbor last year; it went down to 65' and with a new pump, my neighbor paid him $4K. Of course, the entire substrate was sandy loam, so the drilling was easy till they hit the gravel layer where the water was located.

Here's a USDA site that has tons of soil data including water tables etc.

https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm

Click the green button, enter lat long, or address, establish an AOI or "area of interest" using the red outline buttons on the menu bar and read the report.

Pretty amazing tool for informational purposes.
