    And they don’t have nearly the same ongoing maintenance parts costs.

    Still need fossil fuels for lubricants, but to an incredibly lesser degree.

      Owned my EV for 1 year and so far I have had to buy a bottle of windshield wiper fluid.

      Electric costs between $0.03 to $0.09 per mile, and the electric company is 100% solar powered.

      The savings alone justifies driving an EV, plus you’re saving the world as a bonus.
