Teslas and other EVs don’t need oil changes, but that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free. And when service is needed, the costs still add up.

Electric Vehicle Maintenance

When it comes to maintenance, EVs and combustion engines have some similarities. According to CarEdge, they both require:

  • Tire monitoring and replacement

  • Battery replacement

  • HVAC maintenance

  • Brake maintenance

  • Cabin air filter replacement

But there are also key differences. EVs don’t require oil changes, timing belts, radiator fluids or fuel filters. There are fewer moving parts, which means there’s less of a chance of mechanical failure, and brakes wear more slowly due to regenerative braking.

On the other hand, tires wear out more quickly, and battery or motor work will need to be done at the automaker’s service center.

EV maintenance can vary depending on the brand, model, how you drive and even where you live. Tesla notes that aggressive driving can wear down tires faster and put more strain on the brakes. If you live in an area with rough roads or colder weather, you might see more frequent maintenance needs. And if service centers are limited in your area, that can drive up both wait times and costs.

Tesla Maintenance Costs vs. Other EV Brands

According to Consumer Reports and CarEdge, Tesla has the lowest maintenance costs over a 10-year period compared to other major car brands, with an estimated average of $5,050.

Here are CarEdge’s estimated 10-year maintenance costs for different Tesla models:

  • Tesla Model 3: $3,257

  • Tesla Model S: $3,974

  • Tesla Model Y: $3,994

  • Tesla Model X: $4,847

  • Tesla Cybertruck: $5,359

However, there are other brands and models with similar maintenance costs. According to CarEdge, the estimated 10-year maintenance cost for the Toyota Mirai is $3,222 — slightly lower than the Tesla Model 3.

Here is the complete list of EVs, besides Tesla, and their estimated 10-year maintenance costs:

  • Toyota Mirai: $3,222
