Battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, which means fewer components that can break down. Their electric motors also provide regenerative braking, reducing wear on the brakes. As a result, electric motors, battery packs, and brake components generally have a longer lifespan than those in gasoline-powered cars. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, however, include both electric and gasoline systems, so their maintenance needs are similar to conventional vehicles.
