Traditional internal combustion engines have hundreds of moving parts—each with the potential to wear out over time. From pistons and valves to belts and exhaust systems, there’s a lot that needs regular maintenance in a gasoline engine. In contrast, EVs have far fewer moving components. The electric motor is much simpler and doesn't rely on the complex machinery required in regular vehicles. Fewer parts mean fewer things that can break down, le ... read more
