Electric car fires are a hot topic, no pun intended. An Audi E-tron caught fire while on the dealer's service lift, and it wasn't easy to get the fire out. It could have been a disaster. The quick work of the fire department averted a potential disaster.

An interesting list of "most expensive vehicles to maintain and repair" recently emerged that differs from all others. It is invaluable in its approach and the mechanic's view of makes and models that too often, are disregarded indiscriminately.

To help them and others looking for similar vehicles at somewhere near the average price of a new vehicle, I have collected information on all such vehicles currently or soon to go on sale in the U.S (by end of 2023).

The Audi E-Tron GT, new in 2021, is a stunning EV. While related to the Porsche Taycan, the E-Tron GT also features Audi’s fabled Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi has made the E-Tron GT with the driver in mind and it shows.
