>Its a utopica to think EVs somehow need less upkeep.
EVs objectively need less upkeep compared to engine cars because a substantial portion of maintaining a car is related to the engine and transmission.
An EV still requires maintenance like repressurizing tires; replacement of worn out tires, brakes, and wiper blades; refilling of fluids like the windshield cleaner; and so on in addition to anything EV specific, but that's all still far less compared to engine cars.
