    True, EV’s are about things like value for money, quietness, reliability, lack of maintenance, all things expensive flashy cars detest and have no need for

    It’s like making an economical artwork or cheap watch for a super rich person, what’s the point?

          All the really awesome supercars are limited runs that aren’t even built until they are ordered. It’s almost about having a thing no one has. I showed you an electric one that flatly scoffed at your assertions and somehow you confabulated it into confirmation bias. You’ve lost the plot.

      lack of maintenance? I don’t see why it would be the case or why it would need less maintenance than a gas(thermal?) cars

        Yes, EVs come with a lot less maintenance and running costs. You’ll have to excuse the Facebook-quality image, but this does neatly sum up the main differences:

        Oil changes, spark plugs, coolant, transmission fluid, and belts are all things I’ve had to maintain for my partner’s car in the past few years that my EV doesn’t need.

        No oil changes at the very least. There are also around a zillion moving parts in a gas engine, most of which can wear.

        For the routine stuff: no engine oil to replace, no engine air filter, regenerative braking means you barely use the real brakes. Electric engines are also much simpler so there’s just less to go wrong and need fixing.

        You are not sure why EV’s need less maintenance? I don’t quite understand what you’re asking sorry
