How often do electric cars break down?
I just bought my first electric car. So far everything has been great, but should I be prepared for future maintenance now? How often do electric cars break down?

Many
electric car
owners report that their eco-friendly ride actually requires less frequent repairs and less maintenance overall than a gas-powered car. Similar to almost any other car, the parts that are most likely to need repair include tires, onboard software, wiper seat motors, light bulbs, or the HVAC system. The battery in most new electric cars will continue to hold a charge for 10 to 20 years, and electric cars are federally mandated to have a warranty on the battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles.
If you’re thinking about buying a new electric car, you can always save money on your
car insurance
plan with the Jerry
app. Jerry gathers personalized insurance quotes from 55+ top providers to deliver you the best rates and coverage options.The savings don’t stop there. Before every policy renewal period, you’ll be presented with new competitive quotes, which means you’ll always have the best coverage at the best price.
