An important advantage is that electric motors are compared to internal combustion engines in terms of their maintenance. This is another major step in the effort to conquer an even larger share in the car market. In particular, according to a VW survey, maintenance costs are at least 30% smaller.
This is because a purely electric car only wants maintenance on the mounts, the braking system and the tyres, since the engine has just one moving part, the rotor. Thus, the costs for changing lubricants, spark plugs, for damage to turbochargers and many other moving parts, do not exist in electric cars.
Even electric cars have systems for recovering their kinetic energy, which is much less the conventional braking system. All this combined with the much lower cost of electricity, can reduce the cost of maintaining a car with an electric motor even at 50% of the cost of a conventional car.
This reduction reflects on the automakers and especially in the car repair industry where they know very well that in the near future they will have reduced revenues from reduced repair hours and the use of less spare parts.
