Of course it will require less maintenance. Electric motors are much simpler than an ICE.

Have you never owned an older vehicle before? Things can leak, you know. If someone buys a 15 year old electric vehicle believing that they will never have to check anything, it will end up bad for them. Wheel bearings DO go bad over time, as well as everything I mentioned. I've done most of those things on my own vehicle.

I didn't even mention battery replacement, which is a huge cost in EVs.
