Detailing the savings from going electric
All vehicles require some form of maintenance.
Whether its a simple repair or a regular inspection, theres no avoiding the mechanic.
EVs are no different.
A bonus: Electric vehicles are much better for the environment.

This includes the purchase price, fueling costs and overall maintenance expenses.
Perhaps this is because electric vehicles have fewer parts to care for than an internal combustion engine.
Plus, they dont require oil changes, which adds up over time for owners of gasoline-powered cars.
People who own an internal combustion engine car know maintenance fees can add up.
Gasoline-powered vehicles cost around $1,200 per year to maintain compared to about $900 for electric ones.
EV drivers could save at least $3,000 in maintenance over 10 years.
What does it take to maintain an EV?
There are some typical maintenance costs for electric vehicles.
Besides that, EVs also have cabin air filters.
These keep all the dust, dirt and small particles out of the cars air conditioning and heating system.
They require cleaning or replacement every 36,000 miles or more frequently if necessary.
(Of course, some ICE vehicles also have these filters.)
Taking preventive measures can help reduce the overall costs of maintaining an electric vehicle.
Pay less with EVs
Drivers that switch to an electric vehicle will save money and the environment.
Every year, EV owners pay hundreds less on maintenance and repairs.
