I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

    I think they do, but you barely use your brakes due to regenerative braking. So you don’t have to change it very often, if ever

      Ah completely forgot about regenerative braking! I thought the main reason it needed changed was due to age and water absorbance rather than usage though, but again if regenerative brakes are used heavily then the regular brakes losing a little efficiency is a lot less of a deal.

        Brake fluid is hygroscopic – meaning it absorbs water. It’s typically recommended to change it every 2 years.
