Is it more expensive to inspect electric vehicles than combustion vehicles? Peugeot: 1/3 cheaper • CARS
Other manufacturers are announcing or disclosing maintenance costs for electric vehicles in relation to combustion vehicles. Volkswagen has been announcing for months that ID.3 checks will be 30 percent cheaper. According to information released by Peugeot, we will pay 208/1 less for an e-3's scheduled visit to a car dealership than for a visit to a Peugeot 208 internal combustion.
How much does it cost to maintain an electric vehicle? On average 30+ percent less exhaust fumes
It's really hard to say anything other than what we already included in the introduction to the article: according to current manufacturer declarations, the cost of servicing an electric vehicle is expected to be at least 30 percent lower than the cost of servicing an electric vehicle. internal combustion vehicles of the same class and manufacturer.
In some companies (for example, Hyundai) the differences are even more pronounced and can reach more than 50 percent.

Why is this happening? Well, in an internal combustion car, you need to check a whole range of elements: candles, belts, oils, leaks, filters ...
In an electric car, on the other hand, the engine is enclosed in a sealed housing, the single-speed gearbox is sealed in a sealed casing, brake pads and discs practically do not wear out, the cooling and air conditioning system is sealed so that liquids or gases, etc., do not escape from it. If a car's components aren't reporting problems, they're hardly ever looked at because there's no need to..
The PSA Group, which includes Peugeot among others, is already honestly reporting that electric vehicles have fewer parts and can therefore be serviced in a shorter time, which means inspection costs and a level of ease of after-sales service.
In short: cheaper.
