Mostly agree but own an EV. "No" maintenance is an exaggeration and it's not necessary to make your point.

My car's first set of tires were very bald at 25,000 miles. That's not unusual on new cars in general as they seem to come from the factory with low longevity tires, but it's still quite a short tire life.

Yes anything in a gasoline engine is gone, and brakes get less use.

But there are still maintenance items.
