Maintenance costs are near zero until you need
tires/brakes/suspension/batteries.
Brakes: corrosion will get them in Michigan long before wear does,
regenerative braking can nearly eliminate brake wear if you don't drive
like a fool.
Batteries: if you drive 6kmi per year, annual deterioration is going to
be right up there with annual fuel costs for a gas/diesel vehicle.
