What will you have to replace in an electric car?

I know I’ll have to do less maintenance on my electric car, but will I have to replace anything?

Fully electric cars don’t require as much maintenance as
conventional vehicles
. Though, you’ll occasionally have to replace things like:
  • Tires
  • Headlamps
  • Taillights
  • Batteries
Along with the above items, electric car owners will eventually need to have the brakes serviced, replace steering and suspension components, and so on. As for the battery, you can expect your battery to last up to 20 years before needing a replacement.
