I am thankful that my dad is mechanically inclined and taught me the basics. What to look out for, when to change this and that. All helps look after the car's health and have it last a long time.The biggest advantage of ownership IMO of an electric is the minimal maintenance aspect. I do all my own maintenance (where i can) on 4 ICE vehicles and can tell you, it's a lot. There are piles of folks, that grew up in A-to-B families (non-car enthusiasts) that were not told what a maintenance schedule is or how to take proper care of a vehicle......until a light comes on or there is a strange noise. Electric vehicles (once they come down to the $20k range) will be great for these folks who are ignorant, claim to have no time, or cannot be bothered to learn how to take proper care of things.
