That's roughly around what I'm seeing as well as my electric is about the same rate. I'm in the midwest and gas is a little cheaper where I'm at, but it's still significantly cheaper to charge. Supercharging isn't too bad around me but I rarely ever use it. I did get to experience supercharging in California recently and it was probably as much or more than gas there which is probably why you see articles like this.
No one mentions oil either. I probably pay $100-150 a year to change the oil in my other ICE vehicle.
- asynchronous 3y ago+ other maintenance costs that EVs don’t have to deal with (brakes, etc.)
- JustResign 3y agoEVs may have reduced use of the friction brakes, but I still wouldn't budget 0% to their maintenance ;)
- asynchronous 3y agoTeslas at least are rated for the lifetime of the car, but it’s fair to say the chance of them getting replaced is higher than zero especially if you drive it a long time and brake aggressively.
- weaksauce 3y agodon’t tires need to be replaced more often because batteries make the car heavier?
- asynchronous 3y agoNot sure if that’s an actual known cause, but every personal story I know involves extreme acceleration contributing to quicker tire wear.
