> It's not 99% of the same things, you have cherry picked. No, I have not cherry picked. Because the remaining 1%, topping-up oil, replacing gaskets, belts etc. is simply not where the bulk of ICE maintenance costs come from. This sort of stuff can be done cheaply and easily by your local garage. The bulk of the ICE and EV maintenance costs is the same, the stuff that gets exposed to the wear-and-tear of the elements, i.e. your tyres, your windscreen, your shock-absorbers etc. etc. An EV does not make you immune to getting nails in your tyres, chips in your windscreen, cracks in your shock-absorbers etc. .... > Most manufacturers grantee their batteries , mine has a 10 year warranty As with most things of this nature, I would be interested to see the wordings of such warranties, particularly the exclusion clauses. :) > There's many studies comparing the cost... And if we exclude studies funded/conducted by the EV companies or others with vested interests ? :)
