What can we do ourselves on an EV to keep the batteries and motor in good running condition

Read the user manual that comes with your car, it explains that in great detail. There’s practically no maintenance to be done, anyway

I can’t imagine a cheap EV having a full range of sensors installed

They don’t really need them like ICE do. OBDII gives all the details on your battery that you could possibly want, there are cheapo sensors on the like 2 other failable parts

There’s simply a lot LESS to go wrong on an EV, maintenance is very different once you get one

That’s good to hear! I keep watching how things are progressing, some day we’ll all make the switch but at the moment I still need the capacity of an SUV to carry construction materials and the ability to tow my 20’ trailer with loads up to 6000 pounds. Somebody once told me that there’s no reason to own a personal vehicle when I can just ride a bicycle or take the bus everywhere, it took me awhile to stop laughing.
