EVs are not immune to potholes, curbs and rough roads. Just like every internal combustion vehicle on the roads, the shocks, struts and springs will eventually degrade to the point where they can no longer control the movement of the suspension.
Most EVs have a weight problem that works to your advantage. The weight of the battery and motor can make some EVs 1,000-3,000 pounds heavier than their internal combustion counterparts. This will cause extra stress on the suspension.
