    Its also worth remembering there is a lot less maintenance to do on an EV. No oil to change, lubes to replace, belts that break…

    Besides the batteries, an EV car should last longer than a gas car.

      They have the same components except the engine, but they weigh more and the batteries dont last as long as a well maintained engine. EV cars should not last as long.

        DRM… which makes you need to replace belts, and oil?

        I didn’t say they were easier to work on, just lower maintenance. On my gas car i need to change the oil ever 6 months. You dont need to do that with an EV.
