    They have the same components except the engine, but they weigh more and the batteries dont last as long as a well maintained engine. EV cars should not last as long.

      The main wear points on a car are all related to the engine and powertrain (pistons, transmission, timing belt). EV Tires will go more quickly, due to the increased vehicle weight. I’m not sure how that will impact bushings.

      Outside of those, I agree an EV is going to wear similarly.

      • Transmission (usually larger and more expensive than the engine)
      • Exhaust, muffler and catalytic converter
      • Gas tank, fuel pump and vapor hose
      • Ignition coil(s), spark plugs, oil pump, intake and exhaust manifolds and fuel injectors
      • Fucking belts
      • CV joints, differentials and transfer case (I think)
