While regular maintenance plays a crucial role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly, the way you drive also has a substantial impact on its wear and tear.

The electric vehicle (EV) market has been rapidly expanding, with a growing selection of affordable options under $40,000, a significant shift from past years when EVs were considered premium vehicles.

This list includes crossover…
