+ other maintenance costs that EVs don’t have to deal with (brakes, etc.)


EVs may have reduced use of the friction brakes, but I still wouldn't budget 0% to their maintenance ;)


Teslas at least are rated for the lifetime of the car, but it’s fair to say the chance of them getting replaced is higher than zero especially if you drive it a long time and brake aggressively.


don’t tires need to be replaced more often because batteries make the car heavier?


Not sure if that’s an actual known cause, but every personal story I know involves extreme acceleration contributing to quicker tire wear.
