The benefits of owning an electric car

Electric cars have low maintenance requirements.

With fewer moving parts, there are not many things to break or that need fixing on an electric car. This will save you a lot of time and money over the years: no more having to rent a car while yours is being serviced, no more oil changes, no more failed transmissions. Your mechanic might get a little lonely, but so it goes. You’ll still have brakes to maintain, though they will last much longer than they do on a gas-powered vehicle. Your biggest issue may be having to change out your battery, but most models today come with an 8-year/100K mile warranty. Batteries can last up to 15 years in a mild climate, and anyway you toss it, that’s pretty good value.
