I read about this extensive service on ICE vehicles, and honestly I keep my vehicles for 8-10 years and my money spent isn't that much. As far as a 5-year period, pshaw. I've had my cheapo Hyundai for 2 years so far and spent a grand total of $5 for a tail light bulb, air filters, oil filters, and oil. Wait a minute, I did buy two windshield wipers.
I bought it used with 24,000 miles, and paid less than $9500. It now has 36,000 miles, gets around 30 mpg. I can easily see it going another 3 years with about the same cost. Although I may need brakes and tires in a couple years.
So I should have been able to get an EV for around $5000?
