Electric vehicles are much simpler, with fewer moving parts to check and replace.
No oil to change, no spark plugs and filters to replace, no radiators to flush, no carburetors to adjust or engines to tune-up. This is why electric vehicles are estimated to cost only half as much to maintain as gasoline-powered vehicles. EV maintenance is very simple. The main operating expense for EVs is replacing the battery. The exact cost varies, depending on the type of battery, size of the vehicle, type of driving and how the battery is charged.
