My 6 year old EV has never been back to the dealership for any “service”.

I was never good at the maintenance part of car ownership and my EV is the perfect car for me because it needs none.

just wait until the battery or motor dies on you, or you have to resell your car and no buyer wants to take on the risk of a used battery.

While EV resale prices lag ICE, they're on the rise while ICE resale is waning. Considering the lack of maintenance and not paying for gas the math almost always works out in the EVs favor if you hold onto it for 3 years or more.

It's clear you have never owned an EV so you have no idea what the risks are other than what you read online.

guilty as charged..

but isnt the article addressing the likes of me ?
