I’ve heard EVs have lower maintenance costs - fewer moving parts?..
Half truths
Fewer moving parts because there’s not a combustion engine but all the rest is the same and in most cases more computers (those don’t move rofl) but they’re also not repairable.
They replace them when they throw an error.
The issue is the battery.
Higher upfront cost, faster depreciation, because it DOES NOT last past 100k miles.
—No extended warranty’s cover replacement for batteries, why do you think that is?
If you want to buy one and you don’t drive much/can afford one etc, by all means go ahead.
These are just opinions from an ex car salesman/sales manager that runs off grid solar/power wall at a hunting cabin.
—EV has it’s place but understand the tradeoffs.
