You have a fairly new vehicle, no? Wait a few years, and you'll be getting into shocks & suspension wear, just like an IC vehicle. Then you'll perhaps get into the 12-volt battery problem...
Really, the biggest maintenance problem I have with the Insight is having to pull out the battery pack every couple of years, and go through the several days long process of rebalancing the cells. This costs nothing (beyond the initial $100 or so for the equipment) because I do it myself, but could be a big expense if I had to pay someone else. That certainly wasn't a problem (or even a known thing) when the Insight was new; it's something that people discovered after years of use.
