Nah, dealerships don't actually want to sell EVs because they make most of their money with maintenance, and with an EV there's basically barely any.
Exactly. I've loved mine, only maintenance has been updates for the software, and occasional tire rotations.
Dont forget those pesky air filters that they insist on changing every year
In their defense the cabin and engine air filters do need to be changed frequently.
That being said, they're incredibly cheap at any parts store and stupidly easy to replace. Better yet: buy washable ones.
They haven't asked me about mine yet. I've been a bit surprised.
Maybe its a renault thing. Kosts me 50€ every year for a pollen filter.
It's definitely not just Renault, I've been asked in the past with my other cars. Might have just gotten lucky so far.
