As for your second sentence, the entire point of this article was that that's not true.
1. It was not my claim, I was just clarifying OP's claim.
2. "That's not true" is an oversimplification. The article is basically saying that the software vehicles have to prevent damage from fast charging generally seems to work and minimal damage is occurred. But it still cautions against fast charging in high temperatures for example
ICE cars don't really lose range, but they do degrade faster in ways that EVs don't.
I understand ICE have more moving parts, but this doesn't really hold up. If you DON'T INCLUDE battery costs, then EVs begin to be cheaper in maintenance after ~3 years (in the first 3 months they cost ~2.3x more in maintenance and this figure gradually reduces). However, there have not been significant studies that go beyond this range which is when battery issues/replacements start to factor in. I wouldn't be surprised if after 10 years maintenance costs for EVs would again be higher than for ICE
