Maintenance costs?
Regenerative braking, so brake pads last well over 100k miles.
No oil, coolant, exhaust, transmission fluid.
Just windshield fluid and tires
A Kilowatt is a kilowatt- whether it’s in a car or your home’s AC or heater. EV owners pay per charge, when not at home (where a vast majority charge; cause it’s way cheaper than elsewhere) it’s still less than half of what it costs to fill a car’s tank. May take longer; but it’s $~50 to top off my car and about $~25 for 250 miles range for a Model 3
Battery life; that’s generally in excess of 150k miles. But we have batteries being recycled today as the lithium, Nickle, copper, magnesium and other materials can be recovered at ~90+% efficiency and they are quite valuable. It’s like throwing gold plated PC boards into the landfill back in thr 1970’s. We don’t do that anymore
Let’s just wait till December when the blue norther’s roll in. You electric commies will be crying in your Pinot noir about lack of range.
Something I hear your wife complains about regularly…
