Apart from oil changes, you don’t have maintenance worries on an EV.

No expensive parts to replace to buy and that lithium-ion battery can last you nearly as long as you own the car.

And with Murphy’s Law, you can expect EV technology to get better and cheaper as more of these cars enter mass market production.

The minimal cost of maintenance is very appealing. Limited range makes EVs no go for me, though.
