Ah, I think I get where there is was a disconnect between us. I initially misread your post and what the "higher" comparison was referring to: EV vs Non. I was thinking "maintenance revenues are where dealers make money, they don't make much or take losses on sales". A confusion of comparison.

I went full EV in 2019, and would never go back. The only car I think I'd buy if my EV ever poops out, would be a BYD with a range of like 500 miles. That would rule.

Blues are up to third after pummelling Preston 4-0 at St Andrew’s. Priske’s double, a red card and a Dimi cracker made for a very satisfying evening. More on how Blues showed they can put struggling sides to the sword. #BCFC

Die mit Abstand schrecklichsten Verstärker, die ich je gespielt habe waren ein Marshall S80 8240 Stereo-Chorus Combo und ein 100V 8100 Topteil. Valvestate Serie.
Den 8240 habe ich recht lange, auch in den ersten Bands, gespielt. Gruselig!
Die Erlösung war dann ein JCM800 mit 2 EV-12L Thiele Boxen. 👊🏻

Regardless of lobbying by GM and Ford to disencumber EV adoption, U.S. will likely exceed 1M BEV '26.

You are very thrifty - congrats.
EV maintenance is so low because there are no oil changes, no tuneups, no transmission maintenance. Just air filter changes.

No he drives an EV. I'm sure he is very smug about that ie: "it doesn't affect me (smirk)."
He still has to pay for healthcare and food though.
