Do electric cars need a tuneup?
I heard electric cars are cheaper in the long run because you save on maintenance costs because they don’t need tuneups. Do electric cars need a tuneup?

Good question! Electric cars don’t need tuneups, and can save you money on servicing.
Maintenance bills can be expensive, but before you
blow the whole car up
, consider an electric vehicle. Because they don’t have mechanical components that need servicing, you skip tuneups, drive belts, oil changes, spark plugs, cooling system flushes, transmission and differential servicing.There are still things that require servicing on an electric car like tire pressure and air filters, and maybe the wheel alignment. These things need to be done to make sure your car keeps on trucking. Since that kind of service has to be done on gas vehicles as well, this makes electric cars a good
budget pick
.Whether your car runs on gasoline or electric power you always need insurance.
