EVs have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance than old fashioned ICE vehicles.

They also lose value much faster and repairs outside of warranty are much more expensive.

Plus again, you almost have to have a house and garage to keep one. Not to mention the cost of the charge station set up in your garage (usually around $1,200).

Then you also have how much quicker tires wear out. Replacing $800 tires every 30,000 miles is a lot more expensive than $600 tires every 50,000 miles.

I almost wrote out a point by point debunking of this non-sence but I feel like now I'm just attacking you and that's not fair.

Anyone reading. Please do some research, this guy should have.
