A recent study by Consumer Reports on repair and maintenance data from thousands of drivers shows that EV drivers pay about half of what drivers of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles pay for maintenance and repairs. EVs require less maintenance because they have far fewer moving parts, and EV batteries don’t require any maintenance. This means no oil changes, transmission fluids, radiators, exhaust systems, catalytic converters, or mufflers. Not only does this save you money, but it’s much more convenient and saves you time that would otherwise be spent waiting for your car to be serviced.
