Yes, but an EV also needs insurance, maintenance, and tires. OP’s post is pointing out a distinction between EVs and ICE vehicles.

You know what "EV" doesn't need insurance, and has vastly cheaper maintenance and tires? An E-bike!

E-bikes are the real "EVs," outselling electric cars by a wide margin for several years now.

Yeah, was thinking more the “2 cars” vs 1. And $70/month to have backup transport may be worth it if it’s paid off. But yes, the EV would be cheaper to run.
