Not just the manufactures but also the dealers. I use to do some consulting work for a dealer chain here in Houston. Working on the owners comp once I saw a spreadsheet of the monthly income. 65%-70% of their money comes from parts and service, not car sells. And these weren't small hole-in-the-wall dealerships.

Ummm. wow...

No.. The only thing you have to replace are the batteries. Over a period of years they will no longer hold a charge.

An electric car has a lot less moving parts... There is no transmission, drive shaft, U joints, differentials, etc, etc, etc... So you have less parts needing replacement.

For example, the typical four-cylinder engine of a conventional car comprises over a hundred moving parts. By comparison, the motor of the Tesla Roadster has just one: the rotor. So there’s less weight to drive around and fewer parts that could break or wear down over time.

But the comparison doesn’t end with the counting of moving parts. The engine and transmission of a conventional car also need lubricating oils, filters, coolant, clutches, spark plugs and wires, a PCV valve, oxygen sensors, a timing belt, a fan belt, a water pump and hoses, a catalytic converter, and a muffler — all items requiring service, and all items that aren’t needed in an electric car.

It looks good. And while you're waiting for your car, what car you have?

Redmanthatcould 03-20-2007 08:42 AM

Theo 03-20-2007 08:46 AM

Digipimp 03-20-2007 08:50 AM
cool idea, but small 2 door coupes are a little too feminine for me

s9ann0 03-20-2007 09:46 AM
