Yes. Because EVs have fewer parts than gas vehicles, there are fewer things to break down and need repair. An EV has an electric motor instead of an engine; it doesn’t have a transmission system or an exhaust system and it doesn’t require oil or any mechanical fluids. Overall, EVs require much less maintenance and rarely require service.
The single largest indicator of an EV’s reliability is its electric motor and battery. As we see more high-mileage EVs on the road, we are finding that batteries are lasting much longer than expected. In fact, most EV batteries will outlast the vehicles they were installed in. Even after 15 years or 20 years, EVs often have 60%-70% of their charge capacity left.
