What do you service though ? EV's are so ridiculously simple compared to a modern ICE car. Timing belts, PCV valve, and O2 sensors; oh my! All that is gone. there's some trickiness to regenerative braking but that's simple in comparison. There's still tires and glass and bodyword to deal with and repair, but just such a huge chunk of auto maintenance just disappears on EVs it's not even funny. Never have to take your car in for an oil service again. There is the new situation of maintenance on the battery pack, and that's a good chunk of change for the labor on it, but that's still relatively rare compared to troubles on an ICE.
