The lack of clear electric vehicle (EV) maintenance information is confusing for new drivers. Many people understand that EVs requires little to no maintenance, but this is certainly not something the majority of the population understands. Early EV drivers have stories of only changing brake pads and windshield wipers in the first 70,000 miles, but how many people looked for a used car have heard such stories? Carmakers don’t like to talk much about EV maintenance since, technically, there is often no reason for any in the first 100,000 miles. That’s not to say there are no costs, though. Understandably, Tesla decided to charge for yearly check-ups to check out its new package of technology in the automotive world. Today, all EVs come with some form of the maintenance schedule. Citroen C Zero Most Affordable EV To MaintainSo, when FleetNews [ https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/fleet-industry-news/2016/11/21/citroen-c-zero-offers-lowest-running-costs-for-used-ev-says-hpi? ] reported that the Citroen C-Zero is “the cheapest used electric vehicle to run,” we felt that was something the company would want to brag about. After all, who wouldn’t want to sell a car with little to no maintenance? HPI is the organization that named the Citroen C-Zero [ https://www.citroen.co.uk/new-cars-and-vans/citroen-range/citroen-c-zero ] the most affordable used electric vehicle to run (in the UK), but not only — the examination also included hybrids on Britain’s roads. In total, HPI noted that electric cars and hybrids more than doubled last year from 20,522 to 45,236. The analysis of lowest running costs includes monthly running costs, cost per mile, service and maintenance, depreciation, and insurance to calculate a total cost of motoring. HPI found the Citroen C-Zero came out on top at £410 monthly, followed by the Peugeot iOn hatchback at £413 and the Volkswagen e-Up at £526. Although the Citroen C-Zero is an old car, the new electric Mehari could be just what the doctor ordered — a seriusly fun EV. Ultimately, until carmakers find a new business model to make EVs, we’ll have to look for more affordable EVs like the Citroen C-Zero.
