It is a relatively new car though, if anything severely broke on it you'd probably be pretty upset, same with a new ice car. You probably have cabin air filters that should be changed at some point, but that isn't different to an equivalent ice car anyway. At least for EVs in my country, maintenance seems to be about 2/5ths the cost of an ice car, or at least of the ice cars i've owned. If you have solar or live somewhere with cheap electricity compared to fuel it's probably saving a respectable amount.
