When you have to replace your battery your repair costs will come in one big lump sum. Your tires and suspension system will require more repair due to the weight of your vehicle.
> There are no micro-transactions
The first few generations of EV do not have them, but the future ones will.

I have a Bolt EUV 2023 (purchased November 2022) for reference. I can't speak to replacing the battery, tires or suspension system, though. Your statement about the tires and suspension needing more repair due to the weight of the vehicle makes sense to me.
