The Born is fully electric, so there is no oil, no clutch and no exhaust to maintain. Servicing is mostly inspection, cabin filter, brake care and software, which is why the routine costs sit below a petrol equivalent. Brakes can corrode from light use on EVs, so do not skip the checks just because the car feels maintenance-free.
