I'm going to half-answer this. I've read a lot of information about pure electric motor cars and the servicing is brilliant. Because of the simplicity of the engineering involved, realistically you're looking at a service interval of 250,000 miles, and yes, i did mean 250,000 miles! As for the battery, technology has come a long way and they expect it to far outlive that 250,000 miles, not sure about how many years though...
