Compare Ford Electric Car Maintenance Costs vs. Gas

Understanding Maintenance Costs of EVs vs. Gas Cars

Gas vehicles have more moving parts than electric vehicles. With all the parts that have to move in the engine and the transmission, there are more parts than electric vehicles that have motors with one moving part and no transmissions. But which ones are cheaper to own in Jasper in the long run?

EV Cooling Maintenance

Even without engines that require gas and oil to run, some of an electric vehicle still need to be regularly maintained to keep EVs running smoothly around Washington. Some EVs have cooling systems that need to be refilled with coolant. This is the case with the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach E, both needing their cooling systems maintained on a regular basis.

Brakes and Tires

EVs need regular brake maintenance. Because of the nature of electric vehicles, with their battery packs, they are heavier than their gas counterparts, EVs tend to go through brakes faster. The same goes for tires. Because of the extra weight, tires need to be replaced more often in French Lick. Keeping both the brakes and tires in good shape is a matter of safety.

Most Studies Show

Most studies of EVs vs gas cars for cost of ownership favor electric vehicles in the long term for drivers from Huntingtonburg. While there are still associated costs with vehicle ownership, EVs are often less costly to maintain and cost less to power.
