Repairs and maintenance costs are six times higher than your average Honda. There are tons of kept promises behind our EV future. Clean air was one of them. Filling up at home is a huge bonus. We're not scared of range anymore because of big batteries like in the Ford F-150 Lightning and Tesla Model S Plaid, and even the motorsports and enthusiast world has mostly signed on. More of our power is now coming from renewable resources than ever before. But with electric motors, and driveshaft-free drivetrains, and less moving parts, we were told these things would be cheap to own and operate. So far that's not the case.
