EVs bad! Be very afraid!

Full fag disclosure: On my second EV in five years. This is how it goes: Boss asks me what car I'd like for the next three years, I tell him, he takes care of it (within reason). Three years is the usual leasing interval.

I drive to work and back every day and once or twice a week I plug into a bog standard outlet in the morning and unplug nine hours later. Tank is full, great.

With my previous Infernal combustion cars I filled them up, saved the cash register slips and had the financial housekeepers give me cash or transfer the money onto my cashing account. With a company vehicle, it doesn't matter if the cost is gas or electricity.

Why have them get an EV, then? For me, the answer is... Nice ride. Doesn't have anything to do with green shit, climate shit, shit shit. :)

Don't dash 'em if you haven't tried 'em, you precious fuddy duddys. Luddites.

Is there a general maintenance difference? I don’t know anything about them.

Found out I had to consciously use the brakes once or twice a day to keep the discs from rusting. Because of the recuperation you end up not using them very much. The only fluid you need to take care of is wiper fluid.

No oil of any kind is needed. No muffler to wear out. No clutch, no starter, no generator, no gearbox, no injection manifold or other injection related gear, obviously no gas tank. Otherwise standard car shit applies. Works like any other car with much less nuisances.
