I think I have spent $1000-1500 on maintenance over the last 5 years or so with ~60k miles, and that's with taking my car to a private shop for a recall fix ($300-400, wife had the car out of town), which accounts for a quarter to half of that amount. I drive a Prius with oil changes every 5000 miles, which amounts to ~$30/change ($5-10/air filter, ~$5/oil filter, ~$20 for synthetic oil), or ~$400. The rest is small, periodic maintenance (starter battery, lights, fluids, etc) and tires (replaced twice). So I'm looking at ~$0.02-0.03/mile maintenance costs doing most of the work myself, about half or more of which shouldn't be necessary with an EV. I probably could have been under $0.02 if I was more proactive in checking the recall notice.
