Do you know how well the all-electric i3 has held up in terms of maintenance costs?
There are claims the Tesla Model S is old enough now to have proven it's long term maintenance costs are extremely low compared to a similar gas car. (About 20% comparing it to a BMW 7-series or similarly large M-B).
But most of the other stuff is too new... and BMW gas cars never seem to be inexpensive to maintain.
I am talking about way longer than the 3-year period most of the luxury car owners keep stuff like BMWs.. i.e. after the free maintenance and/or warranty has worn off. I have been getting an earful from my Dad about his 3-series lately. He still loves it but he doesn't try to pretend it's reliable or low maintenance.
Used i3, Leaf, Bolt, etc.. would all be good cheaper options if I was trying to be cheap.
