We all need to be ready for a new world.....

"The Chevy Bolt's maintenance schedule requires owners to rotate tires every 7,500 miles, replace the cabin air filter every 22,500 miles and have the coolant flushed every 150,000, according to Chevrolet. "And . . . yeah, that's it," as one writer recently mused. Some of those parts can be purchased online for less than $20."

First regular scheduled maintenance @ 15,000 mile/year , about 10 years...

"We already do a lot more work with a laptop than we do with a wrench anymore," Bill Moss, the owner of EuroService Automotive, a family-owned repair business in Warrenton, Va., that has begun training employees to work on electric cars. "Some of this is nothing new."

And sooner than many think....

Seems heavy trucks would be impacted greatly because of the high

cost of maintenance of class 5-8 trucks...
