I've wondered this for a while and this seems like a good time to ask: Do electric cars use motor oil in the same way as an internal combustion vehicle? Like do you need to get oil changes in an all electric the same way and have a need for a dipstick?
Nope. The only fluid I worry about in my EV is windshield wiper fluid.
Got my mechanic to replace the transmission fluid in mine after 80,000km, cost $90NZD
