If I am taking the mileage deduction for my rideshare business, can I also add expenses like new tires for the car, water bottles for riders, cell phone service, etc?

Which of these expenses can I include in my rideshare business expenses when I am taking mileage deduction: car washes, electric vehicle charging costs associated with rideshare driving (it's an electric car), windshield repair, vehicle and rideshare insurance, garage rental fees, cell phone service, new tires for the car, water bottles for riders? Thank you!

You can also deduct interest on an auto loan, registration and property tax fees, and parking and tolls in addition to the standard mileage rate deduction, as long as they are business related.
