Key Takeaways
- EV Advantage: Tesla's position at the top is largely due to its all-electric lineup, as EVs have fewer moving parts, no need for oil changes, and reduced brake wear due to regenerative braking.
- Domestic Brands: Buick, Lincoln, Ford, and Chevrolet, all U.S. domestic brands, performed well, likely due to a robust parts supply and ease of repair.
- Most Expensive Brands: In contrast, brands like Land Rover ($19,250), Porsche ($14,090), and Mercedes-Benz ($10,525) were found to be the most expensive to maintain over the same period.
