    Also I heard that EVs are alot cheaper to maintain, due to rare malfunctions, because so few moving parts in the car.

    It was even a big topic at my local mechanic because they didn’t earn any money on EVs.

    Sounds amazing for consumers.

      Can your local mechanic even service EVs? The parts that are different, I mean. Obviously they can all do tires and the like.

        My local mechanic can service 2 different car brands, so he can’t service them all. And he services those two brands both on ICE and EV.

        But he says that 95% of the things he fixes on traditional cars, is not even present in EVs. EVs just require fewer parts to work, therefore almost no parts that can break.
