EV Repairs Are Cheaper Than Gas Cars, But There's a Catch, Says Study
26 Jul 2025 | Abstracted from Autoblog
A recent study found that while the maintenance of electric vehicles is cheaper than gasoline-powered cars, the catch is that repair costs can be higher. This is especially true for Teslas, which use large, expensive "gigacastings" and advanced technology. Additionally, service visits for EVs may take longer, and it can take more than one visit to resolve an issue. However, overall, EV owners can still save money in the long run due to lower maintenance and operational costs.
