A lot of EV's also use a single speed gear reduction instead of an automatic transmission and automatic transmissions tend to wear out well before the gas engine, last person I talked to who had an automatic transmission fixed paid over $3,000 to have it done on a car with about 70,000 miles.
But you still have tires, brakes, wiper blades, washer fluid, cabin air filter, brake fluid, and maybe every 100,000 miles suspension gets replaced?
