What Are Typical EV Maintenance Costs?

EV Connect

If you’re switching to an electric vehicle (EV) from an internal combustion engine (ICE) car, how do the maintenance costs stack up? The good news is that EV maintenance costs are consistently lower than for gas-powered vehicles. Depending on the model, the cost of a new converter can range from hundreds to thousands.

Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners advance climate-neutral eFuels development; Haru Oni pilot in Chile

Green Car Congress

The result is renewable methanol, which can be converted into climate-friendly fuel using an MTG (Methanol To Gasoline) technology to be licensed and supported by ExxonMobil. Other partners in the project are the Chilean power company AME, Chile’s national oil company ENAP, and Italian energy company Enel.
