Minimal Maintenance: Less Hassle, More Savings

Electric Vehicles Are Built to Last — Without the Upkeep

Owning an electric vehicle (EV) means saying goodbye to oil changes, transmission issues, and many of the costly repairs associated with gas-powered cars. Thanks to fewer moving parts and smart systems like regenerative braking, EV's require less maintenance — and cost far less to keep running overtime.

No More Oil Changes (Ever)

EV's don't have internal combustion engines so they don't need:

  • Oil changes

  • Spark plugs

  • Timing belts

  • Exhaust system repairs

That's hundreds of dollars saved — and hours of your life back — every year.

Never needed with EVs

  • Oil change

  • Emissions check

  • Muffler

  • Tune-ups

  • Spark plug replacements

  • Catalytic converter maintenance

  • Fuel system maintenance

 

Fewer Moving Parts = Fewer Things to Break

A typical gas car has over 2000 moving parts in its drivetrain.

An EV? Around 20.

That means:

  • No engine problems

  • No fuel system failures

  • No transmission replacements

  • Fewer breakdowns, fewer trips to the mechanic

 

EVs have 90% fewer mechanical components that wear out compared to gas vehicles.

Regenerative Braking = Less Brake Wear

 

Electric vehicles use regenerative braking, a system that recaptures energy when you slow down and sends it back to the battery.

 

This not only boosts efficiency — it also:

  • Dramatically reduces brake pad wear

  • Extends brake life by 2 - 3 times compared to gas cars

  • Lowers long- term maintenance costs

 

 Save Thousands Over the Life of Your EV

A recent Consumer Reports study found that EV owners can save $4,600 to $6,000 over the life of their vehicle in maintenance and repairs alone.

Simple, Predictable Maintenance

What EVs do need:

  • Tire Rotation

  • Cabin air filter replacement

  • Occasional battery coolant check

And that’s about it.

Summary: Minimal Maintenance = Maximum Peace of Mind

  • No oil changes

  • Far fewer parts to wear out

  • Less brake wear thanks to regenerative braking

  • Save thousands in service and repair costs
