- aetherson 10y agoBut an EV presumably has all those advantages and also no gas engine to maintain.
- r00fus 10y agoMy 11 year old Prius (not even a plug-in) with 150k miles - No engine, brake or transmission maint costs whatsoever (other than the basic manufacturer recommended checkups and minimal at that). On the downside is that it's not fully EV, still stinky gasoline.
