EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed comparison of the long-term maintenance costs between a gasoline car (Lexus RX 350) and an electric vehicle (Tesla Model Y) over 100,000 miles. The reviewer meticulously breaks down costs for routine maintenance, repairs, tires, and fuel/electricity. Surprisingly, the Tesla Model Y emerges as the cheaper option, even when factoring in a hypothetical high-voltage battery replacement.
