What are some things that electric cars DON’T have that gas powered cars do have?
Yes it is. For example, an internal combustion engine (ICE) has many moving parts which can wear down or break. An electric motor has no moving components.
"EVs, particularly those using AC or brushless DC motors, have far fewer parts to wear out. An ICE vehicle on the other hand will have many mechanical, fluid, and electrical parts that may include some of the following: pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, cylinder walls, valves, valve springs, valve guides, camshafts, cambelts, lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, oil pumps, fuel pumps, water pumps, radiators, gearbox (rarely used in EV’s), clutch, distributors, spark plugs, air filters, oil filters, coolant and vacuum hoses, injectors, carburettors, turbos, superchargers, gaskets, seals and bearings. All of these parts may wear out over time.
Both hybrids and EVs can use regenerative braking, which greatly reduces wear and tear on friction brakes – Prius taxi drivers report far less frequent brake maintenance."
