Lmao where are you getting these figures? EVs basically don’t need servicing. It’s not 30% cheaper, more like 90% cheaper. My car’s manual only has 5 components listed, and two of those are fluid changes.

I bought a top spec 50k EV for 18k with 16000 miles. It averages 4 miles/KWh. Run the numbers on that and tell me I’m losing out.



>50% of servicing costs in my ICE have been components that an EV would have too. Suspension components, a button on the steering wheel controls, a seatbelt latch, an exterior rubber trim piece, the wiper fluid squirter things on the hood, etc.
