I’m trying to compare the holding costs between an electrical vehicle and internal combustion engine (ICE).
Without factoring cost of charging or gasoline, what other costs should I consider.
Let’s assume a 15,000 miles per year driving in the suburbs on a Toyota Camry (or similar).
In an ICE car there are:
service
parts
oil
What costs should one consider in an EV:
using the same assumption above:
Roughly how long is an electrical motor is good for? 2 years, 10 years, 20 years. I know motors vary but I’m trying to get an understanding.
How frequently do I need to replace batteries?
Any other parts that I need to keep in mind for servicing an EV (like oil filter or oil or plugs in ICE)?
The way I see it there are three costs:
Buying costs
Holding (maintaining) costs
Environmental costs
It’s the holding costs that I’m trying to figure out.
Thanks for any inputs
