Prospective EV buyer worried about running costs, including tire and brake wear

What people actually reported
Needs alignment about every 6 months at ~$300 dealer cost
“On my Polestar 2 I seem to need one at least every six months, and the dealer charges about $300 because most tire shops can't do them on that car.”

Brakes fine at ~40k mi thanks to regen; tires the main cost
“I'm around 40k miles on my Mach-E, and regen does most of the slowing, so brakes have been the least of my worries.”

Pays ~$60/mo electricity versus ~$260/mo estimated for gas
“I'd figured around $260 a month for gas, and after a discount I'm paying about $60 a month in electricity on my Lightning.”
