All mechanical vehicles need maintenance for the moving parts other than motive power, such as transmission,  tires, suspension, brakes, cooling systems, etc. 

It’s also true that electric motors tend to be extremely reliable and may deliver adequate power, but please remember every EV requires four hours or more of charging time. 

Yes, I can hear the cries now — there is a “quick charge” option, but it costs the user four times as much and has to be built into the charging station. 

“Overcharging” is the source of fires, just ask the City of Nashville about the library garage fire.
