    If it helps, the maintenance is dirt cheap. Compared to my last ICE car, the inspections are roughly 130 euro cheaper each (not counting inflation!), and the only real maintenance costs have been new tires, pollen filters and wipers (and that one time a moron drove over my charging cable and ripped out the port)

    There are fewer moving parts, no oil*, no gaskets, no weird gas recirculating systems, no pumps. The brakes basically don’t wear out because of regenerative braking.

    *Except for a fixed reduction gear.
