Oh, an electric cars have inherently less maintenance, too.
Yep.
Maintenance: primarily windshield wipers and tire rotation. Tires every 40-50K miles. I had to replace the 12v batter this year. Brakes maybe never. I changed the brake fluid once. There's no transmission, no differential, no internal combustion engine, no cooling system, no timing belt or any belts of any kind, no a/c compressor, no power steering pump.
I bought this one used for a very good price, even factoring in an eventual battery replacement the total cost of ownership crushes even our Kia, let alone the full-size pickup.
