This is true about EVs, but it all just depends on how hard you are on your brakes. I routinely go 70k+ miles in ICE cars with the same brake pads. My mom on the other hand had to change hers about every 30k miles. YMMV.
Having said this, if you can go 70k+ miles with the same brake pads, you could likely go much further than that if the car had regenerative braking.
