    Half of my model trains date back to the 80s and earlier and have spent significant periods of that time just sitting unmaintained in boxes. No lube or anything, apply power and they just go. Good luck getting the same out of an ICE powered vehicle after just a couple of years of not being used. Electric motors are awesome!

      Yep, and the funny thing is about EVs is that all the electronics that fail, are also on ICE vehicles these days.
