There was a time when the maintenance cost of cars (traditional) were little. Things changed because now things are made to fail after sometime aka planned obsolescence.
Do you think electric car companies will be different?
- jessaustin 10y agoDid you ever own such a car? Did you find the regular tuneups (points, plugs, distributor, vacuum, etc...) to constitute "little maintenance"?
- babyrainbow 10y ago>Did you ever own such a car? I did. It did't require "regular tuneups". You pour petrol and plain tap water for coolant in the radiator and the thing just goes...When it get stuck, you open the hood and take a peek, pull some wires, adjust some plugs and it goes again... I don't recall any really expensive repair work in the 15 years that we owned that car.
