Control rods, suspension, alignment, etc are significant costs where I live. Winter climate and road conditions impact this.


Underrated point! Heavier EV's typically burn through tires and wear components in the suspension faster.


Most EVs aren't enough heavier for this to be a big factor. The only reason some people burn through tires faster is because when you have all-the-torque-all-the-time and can use it silently, it is addicting to do so. This is hard on tires. Boring drivers routinely get the same wear life from tires as they did before.
