when I bought my car in 2020 with \~27,000 miles on it, I replaced the cabin air filter, wiper blades, and all 4 tires immediately upon purchase because they all needed it.
I purchased Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2 tires for my Bolt.
Love them!
I have the washable K&N air filter in my car. Buy it and the cleaner and never get tricked into a new filter again. Wash it every 6 months (fall and spring for me) and it’s as good as new.
Owning an EV is super easy...if you have a convenient way of charging it. I have a charger installed in my garage. It's like a cell phone; I plug in when the battery is low.
My experience is briefer: 3 years with a Bolt EUV. I bring it in for tire rotations and maintenance wise that’s pretty much it.
The bolt (possibly the cheapest used EV available) batteries last well into the 200,000mi lifespan. My insurance lowered $80 when I bought my first EV. My state started charging an extra $150 to register an EV in 2019. About the same as the average ICE owner would pay in gas tax.
We may have to send your original tires to a museum as the longest lasting Michelin Energy Savers!
I recently replaced my worn out stock tires (the OEM low rolling resistant EV friendly ones) on my ‘22 Bolt EV 2LT with Bridgestone Weatherpeak 215/50R17’s mainly due to a sale at Costco Tires. I wanted the snowpeak rating as winter is upon us. However, my efficiency dropped dramatically since, going from an average of 4.5 miles per KWh (even in the dead of winter averaging 30 degrees F) to around 3.1 miles
My 2023 is not any better. I hit a deer last winter and when I switched back to my truck for a few months it was so apparent how bad the lights were. I would have seen the deer with my truck, but not with the low beams on my Bolt.
The car has been amazing except for one thing, the headlights. I can't see ANYTHING at night. I've adjusted the headlights a few times and they are aimed correctly, but the output is so dim that it the only noticeable things are streets signs or other things with that reflective matetial/coating. It makes me nervous to drive, to the point where I will upgrade to anothet car if I can't find a solution.
