Can anyone shed some light on the cost of servicing for these cars. As they don't use oil, have plugs or leads etc I presume servicing is just limited to a visual inspection, tyres, bearings, and brake pads?

Interested to know if there are any hidden costs.

Wow that looks great, thank you for the info. By comparison to an ICE, the cost of servicing over ten years would be a heap of cash.

My Jaguar XJ has already accumulated £11k of dealer servicing in the 9 years of its life. This also strengthens the EV case for a commuter vehicle.

Well you might not be paying your money to the dealers for servicing but I can see a whole new mega industry based on battery testing and replacement services. Think on it as an exchange engine/gearbox service but for batteries.

I can also predict a massive market for performance ECU upgrades too. Can't bloody wait!
