One potential new EV cost that doesn't come with a gas car is a home charger. Do you need a level 2 EVSE at home? ➡ ruclips.net/video/r-_OmKXWYfM/видео.html
Very well done, thanks! I saw another video that said it would cost (for one year) $749 for our Tesla model 3 maintenance! So far at 6 months we have spent $0.00!
I used to be a mechanic. Now truck driver. I’m getting an EV just for this reason alone. Maintenance. I don’t know why but I hate doing maintenance on my own vehicles. Mom and dad’s car? Bring it over. Wifeys car? No problem. My own? It’s a drag. That’s not to say I won’t have an ICE vehicle. I love my 2002 Tacoma as a work truck but to have an EV as a daily driver just makes more sense to me.
One thing that is vital for all vehicles with regenerative braking is to inspect the rotors and pads each time you rotate tires for needed preventative maintenance of the brakes. The problem is that as the brakes are applied much less often and depending where you live the rotors may corrode and corrode to a point where they can damage the brake pads reducing the contact patch between the rotors and pads reducing braking performance when you need it most. With each tire rotation, the brakes should be inspected by a mechanic or someone trained for what to look.
@@jazzfan7491you missed the point. Many Evs rarely use their brakes enough to the point that rust (not just surface level kind) can develop on the brake parts.
@@shannon6876 okay 👌, I was just stating that I'd never did a full flush of the system, just bled them when necessary and added fluid when needed, never had a problem. On a side note, I went to the auto parts store for rear shoes once and for some reason or another the 2.0l and the 2.6l engined trucks had different sized parts so I took the shoes into the auto parts store to make sure they were the correct size, they Freaked out when I informed them that this shoe came out of that truck parked in front of the store, I neglected to inform them that I'd replaced the rear-end a few years earlier and saved the shoes for just such an occasion 😁😁 They thought that I was driving around without rear brakes.
Don’t forget the maintenance on a garage to store vehicle in if you live in an area that gets really cold in winter. A lot of people don’t have access to an enclosed garage to protect these batteries. Didn’t we see this in Chicago this last winter?
I’ll tell you something else I save HUGE on, vehicle registration. Here in AZ it could cost you around $500 per year to register a new ICE machine. It costs me a grand total of $45 every 5 years. Add that up over the course of 5 years. Kaching kaching.
Any favorable tax incentives are temporary, at best. EVs will have to pay their fair share of road maintenance (some say they should pay MORE because their heavy weights tear up the roads faster).
Audi sold me on an expensive service contract for the Q8 by showing me the price of the required maintenance for a leased car and that it was less than the cost of the contract. Made a big deal of the coolant levels. Rip off I am sure. 😡
Now, have EV under consideration. Apparently, many vehicle technicians HATE repairing vehicle engines. They are messing up many customer engine repairs.
You forgot a very important thing...EV's still have reduction gears and differentials. That oil needs to be changed, just like in a combustion car. It usually needs to be done every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Some even have a spin-on oil filter, so yes, you still need an oil and filter change! Only much less often.
In my experience EVs win. No more oil changes, coolant flushes, no belts or or hight temp hoses to wear out. Breaks last way longer as you don't use them hardly in an EV. Definitely more fun to driver. The instant torque is awesome. Mine has LFP batteries that should last 400k miles minimum.
I will definitely agree with That-Guy. The EV vehicles are a blast to drive. My Tesla vehicle has plenty of acceleration that my Monte Carlo never had.
EV usually have 8 year warranty for core components c.f. ICE cars 3-5 years. There are further indirect and uncertainty costs with ICE cars, e.g. downtime/loss of use/loss of productivity for taking car to service, chance of being ripped off by dishonest workshop (stealership...)
My thoughts on the tire differential: Cars have been getting heavier every passing year. The new M5 is heavier than my XC40 reacharge. Cars and SUVs average 3200-3800 LBS. EVs are 3800 and up with an average of 4000 lbs. Eventually the selection of tires for extra load will be more common and therefore the costs will come down. There will be certain options that either give off less road noise and or increase range, but for those who just want an inexpensive good tire, there are already options. Just shop extra load or look carefully at the spec of the tire to confirm weight limits and shoulder rigidity.
None of this means anything if I can’t do the job myself. I can maintain my own ICE for most preventative stuff and buy parts anywhere for the most part. EV goes against the concept of car ownership so why should I pay more for less control of my vehicle? It’s a rich city persons game, not for the working class.
That's a really good point that I hadn't considered. Thank you for bringing it up. However, I don't know how to maintain a gas vehicle on my own either... I'm not particularly hard on my vehicles so I usually keep them for around 8-10 years with little issue, but I always pay someone to do anything more complicated than changing my wipers. This is still a very good point for those who prolong their vehicle's life with their own knowledge and maintenance but I think this will change in the next decade. The only reason no one knows how to do heavy personal maintenance on electric vehicles is because of how new they are. Companies love to gatekeep their methods but this never lasts. Every car company since their invention has tried to keep their inner workings secret from the public in sometimes vicious and violent ways, but no one can stop progress. Not even billionaires.
@@EVPulse You just can`t put your hands inside the engine compartment at starts. It has a real danger if you do that without right procedures and tools.
Ev burn energy daily to Maintain the batteries unlike an Ice Vehicle, my EV burns about 25 miles daily in maintenance of its fuel just to maintain the battery.Hands down Ice vehicles win the Maintenance debate every day of the week.
Youll actually replace tires twice as often on EVs because the tires rubber has not improved to handle the extra weight/friction caused by the weight. You'll spend $1k per tire 2 times. A year on EV tires vs normal vehicle tires that cost $200 each. Yep I'm convinced now, not....
Wow saving $250.00 vs ICE. When the vehicle like the lightning, which is what I'll need to replace my truck costs $40,000 dollars more to purchase. That annual $250.00 savings does not justify a $900/$1000 per month car loan payment. I'm limited to $450 per month.
@nimabeee_playzyt3339 yeah sure, but many owners on the youtube that have regrets, say these tires wear out just as fast as normal ones and cost nearly double in price. So in essence they are being replaced "twice as fast" by the fact they cost about the same as replacing 2 full sets of regular tires. I would be up for getting an EV pickup truck, I just hope they figure out how to make them competitive and cheaper. For example, gut out all the electronics/ technology. I would prefer if it just had a battery, gas pedal, and a decent truck frame. I dont see an EV needing all these computers and computer screens in them. Just put an analog speedometer and a few indicator lights (check engine, check tires, etc...) There is no need for software, besides what is needed to deploy Airbags, energy levels. Most everything can be operated by switches/circuits such as blinkers, lights, A/C, Park/Drive/Nuetral/reverse. I imagine the price could come down drastically.
more misinfo....yes you do have to stay on top of tires but not much more than any other vehicle putting down 300-500 hp and tq. On my tuned GTI, I had to replace tires every 30-35k.

I know you mean well but this tire wear myth needs to be put to rest. Weight has very little impact on tire wear, it's people being heavy on the pedal. Otherwise these tires can easily last just about the same as a the average gas cars.

Plus the car is far heavier - thus more work for the brakes
@@jazzfan7491
Actually less work for the breaks because the motor(s) take on most of the breaking by returning power to the battery.
Speaking of brakes, I owned a pickup for 30yrs, never changed the brake fluid, always stopped just fine.

If you don't like spending on tires, don't get vehicles with giant wheels, don't teach the gassers a lesson at every light

It gets really cold in Norway without issue. Regularly. Chicago’s issues centered around charging equipment and not batteries.

Nice.
All in all, is it EV or ICE that is easier to maintain as well as more fun to drive? Which is more durable as well?

Or 50,000$ battery replacement should it get damaged
Says who?
What’s with all these people thinking you need a battery replacement after a few years? More misinformed I guess
I own an EV and I think the battery replacement cost is whatever the manufacturer wants to charge.
None of this means anything if I can’t do the job myself. I can maintain my own ICE for most preventative stuff and buy parts anywhere for the most part.
EV goes against the concept of car ownership so why should I pay more for less control of my vehicle? It’s a rich city persons game, not for the working class.
You can also maintain an EV for most of the preventative stuff. Name some things a normal person do on an ICE they can’t do on an EV.

The "Reality" of my EV, it runs 14 dollars a week, just to maintain even if I do not drive it at all.
How about the batteries how much does it cost to replace them. Isn’t that a requirement every 5 years?
No. Nobody needs a new battery after 5 years unless there’s a defect which is covered under the battery warranty.
the 12v? Possibly but most 12v in ICE cars have that same replacement guideline
