Hey Polestar buddy! I just got one too.
Comment on Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says
Celestus@lemm.ee 6 months agoCan confirm. Was shopping around for cars, and settled on either a 2023 WRX Limited, or a fully loaded 2022 Polestar 2. Both around $37k in the US. Chose the Polestar, and now I don’t have to pay for gas, let alone premium gas

Also I heard that EVs are alot cheaper to maintain, due to rare malfunctions, because so few moving parts in the car.
It was even a big topic at my local mechanic because they didn’t earn any money on EVs.
Sounds amazing for consumers.

Can your local mechanic even service EVs? The parts that are different, I mean. Obviously they can all do tires and the like.

My local mechanic can service 2 different car brands, so he can’t service them all. And he services those two brands both on ICE and EV.
But he says that 95% of the things he fixes on traditional cars, is not even present in EVs. EVs just require fewer parts to work, therefore almost no parts that can break.
