Overall, I've skipped over 100 times pumping gas, 5 or 10 oil changes, and several other pain in the butt PM visits. It's like maintaining a bicycle.
Concur on the coolant too--there is none. EVs do not even need a grill

Just curious and I truly dont know the answer, but if you keep it to the point where the batteries/battery pack needs to be replaced, did they tell you what the cost is?
