The dealerships lose MILLIONS in revenue because of no tune ups, oil changes, no maintenance on the EV’s they need to make up that revenue somehow thus a $70,000 ticket price which is outrageous for a car!!

there are all sorts of auxiliary systems that will need maintenance and repairs. Heaters/blowers/AC - battery and charging issues, tires/alignments, computer system issues, etc.

" no maintenance on the EV’s"

No maintenance? Ha, ha, ha! Just replacing the tires three times as often, and replacing the $30,000 battery pack, ball joints, springs, brakes, etc. due to the 8000 pound weight.

Modern spark plugs are good for over 100,000 miles. Synthetic oil changes can easily wait for 7,000 miles @ $80 each, 14x80=$1,120/100,000 miles. I am in Phoenix, and I go through car batteries pretty quickly for heat. That's $200 x 3 (includes warranty replacements).

Tires last 40,000 miles reliably at $1,000 replacement =$2,500/100,000 miles. Probablyu worse on an EV.

Brakes pads lasted 80,000 miles front, $90,000 rear. Call it $1,000 for brakes.

Big one will be gasoline versus electric rates. That's all over the map depending on where you are and how you drive.

Even EVs will need suspension parts, and electrical problems will be more serious and even debilitating and more expensive. I will not buy a car that requires a subscription to anything.
