This is only true if you're purchasing used. Anyone in the market for a NEW car absolutely can and should be considering an EV.

Also, you would be fucking shocked how expensive an oil change can be on some cars, even when doing it yourself.

Depends on if you shop around for oil. I can usually get mobile one high mileage synthetic for about $5/qt at Walmart and buy filters at napa when they have a deal on buying multiple qty.

So $40ish for full synthetic high mileage oil change.
