I've had a Volt since 2018 and there's basically been almost no "maintenance" on the ICE. Just an oil change every two years. Maybe I'm due for a coolant flush or something, I dunno. It has 120,000km on it.
The most maintenance on this car ever has just been the breaks, because like most EVs, they're prone to corroding because they don't get used as much due to regeneration.
The "ICE is a maintenance problem" thing is honestly kind of a bogus argument borne out by people's hunches, rather than reality. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, and, yeah, I am about 95% electric only on it.
- mark-r 3y agoThat's interesting, I always assumed the brakes would be MORE reliable because there's essentially no wear on the brake pads.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoThey're reliable, but they get rust corrosion from lack of use.
