    I’m not sure if this is universally true but I’ve never seen a fully electric vehicle that uses motor oil. Hybrid vehicles with an internal combustion engine and an electric drive train would still need it, of course.

    Not having to take my car for oil changes is bliss.

      There’s still hydraulic fluids and transmission oil in EVs but by the time you need to change that most people are long out of warranty and likely already onto their next car.

      So strictly speaking there is oil and fluids that need replacing but like its such a long life span.
