[quote=Anonymous]As an engineer, the reduction in moving parts and wear items appeals most to me. Granted, batteries and electric motors DO wear out. The stators and armature bearings will eventually fail, and brakes and suspension components still wear out at the same rate as those components on fuel-powered vehicles. But not having a transmission is a huge advantage, because transmissions are the thing most likely to fail prematurely on a regular car. Second to that are cylinder head gaskets and the valvetrain, both of which are also absent in a EV. [/quote]
