Remember mine is over 4 years and 115,000 miles:
  • Windshield and roof glass from pebbles thrown up or dropped from trucks.
  • Passenger side wheel bearings from hitting curb.
  • Front bottom from parking curb scrapes.
  • Bottom rear cover from road debris
  • 12 V battery wore out.
  • OEM tires wore out
  • Added 2” receiver hitch
  • Unseen post while parking
  • One cabin filter replacement
  • Most frequent, window washing fluid
My cars work for me and most of these were wear and tear from working hard. My previous Prius had similar maintenance plus Spring/Fall oil changes, annual engine filter, two transmission oil drain and fill, failed attempt to replace brake booster after 260,000 miles.

An EV is a car body encapsulation of a near maintenance free electric drivetrain.
