Yea, there is that - the devil's brew of salt & calcium chloride is particularly bad, here's an example of a cassette after two winters of use, then a summer sitting in the corner of the shop (different bike) and yes, I do oil the things heh;
After the first summer riding the ebike I loved it so much that odd as it may sound I decided to try and "test to destruction" by dismissing all cautions, riding all season despite the caustic & galvanic corrosion concerns, potentially worse with an electric vehicle.
It's no better or worse really, basically amounting to I should clean it more often than I do, which may be true of all things
