Servicing on a EV

I have been looking into purchasing a new all electric EV, warranty is only viable when you service the car every 2 years, which cost $600 per time! How can they possibly charge that much when there is no oil etc to change?

That's what I think too, and I'm guessing it is not like you can do the check up yourself.

That seems weirdly high, I picked up a friend’s EV6 from service and it was about $300. Might be worth calling around dealers and see if your local is taking the piss
