How much is a regular tune up on an electric car?

I know that going electric will save me big when it comes to fuel costs, but what about at the mechanic? How much does a regular tune up for an electric car cost?

The good news is that in addition to saved costs on fuel, many
electric car
owners also report saving on repairs as well.
A comprehensive analysis from Consumer Reports reported that on average, BEVs or battery electric vehicles required an estimated $0.031 per-mile in repairs and maintenance costs for the lifetime of the car. That’s compared to a $0.61 average for internal combustion engine cars.
A separate study from AAA estimates that regular maintenance and repair of your electric car will cost about $949 annually, that’s $330 less than a gas-powered car.
