      Aside from oil changes, there isn’t often very much maintenance that’s different on an ice. Just stuff that’s every fifty or one hundred thousand miles.

        You have less moving parts so there’s also no replacing fuses, coolant, belts, etc. and then you also don’t have to go to the gas station every week. It’s just simply charging at your home.

          There is coolant. There are fuses. You don’t have a belt but you have electric motors like the AC pump. You’ve added heating coils for a heater. You may have more than one electric drive motor, an inverter system, and a whole mess of sensors.

          Charging at home works if you don’t live in apartments or condos or trailer houses, which is a quite sizeable amount of people. Some of those people could, in theory run out a extension cord and charge from 110, but that is only good for Like 36 miles from 8 hours of charging.

          Not having an ice does not mean there isn’t a lot that goes wrong with an electric car. You just aren’t changing the oil every six to ten thousand miles.
