This the thing I do not understand about modern EVs. Based upon articles I read, maintenance of EVs are far more expensive that fossil fuel vehicles. Maintenance is a big part of cost of ownership .

100+ years ago, Electric Vehicles back the were correctly touted as having far less maintenance that fossil fuel vehicles.

Here is the thing, Items EVs do not have/need:

1. No Transmission

2. Oil Changes

3. No radiator

4. No exhaust or catalytic converter.

5. There are other things not in EVs that need regular maintenance.

So to me, maintenance should be much less for EVs, 100+ years ago the only drawback was range, and that has been solved with modern EVs.

> What he found was less an amateur car club than a volunteer-run multinational automotive company in the making. As many owners saw it, Fisker had built a flawed vehicle and then abandoned them when they needed help. If the company wouldn’t be making good on years of software updates and replacement parts, then they would push the code and source the parts themselves. This was about more than an electric car, or a hobby, or even a community. It was about taking back control of an economy run by rent-seeking tech companies that will jack up prices until the day they drop you.
