My insurance went down not up when I switched.
EV servicing is cheaper and I do it less often.
I bought used. The monthly depreciation is less than my previous fuel bill.
YMMV.
- ErroneousBosh 6mo ago> EV servicing is cheaper and I do it less often. Most EVs need serviced every year and it's about £300 to do so. This is a ridiculous amount.
- klooney 6mo agoWhat do you need to get serviced every year? Do the tires wear out that fast?
- ErroneousBosh 6mo agoThey need the oil and coolant changed apparently, or they won't warranty the battery. Mine needs a set of tyres every few years, a set of brakes every few years, and an oil change or two a year. None of this is especially expensive.
- Schiendelman 6mo agoOil and coolant? No, someone has lied to you. EVs do not need either changed.
- ErroneousBosh 6mo agoThey need coolant for the battery and motor which degrades, and they need oil for the gearbox. I guess you're in the US, where "lifetime oil" is a thing. Expect the gearbox to be scrap once it's a little outside the warranty period.
- Schiendelman 6mo agoBased on your attitude I now can't tell if you're being led astray or if you're actively attempting to lead others astray.
