It might be simpler than a regular gearbox, but so what? That tech is already commoditised, and generally very reliable. The engine - not the transmission - is the biggest pain point with ICE vehicles. It’s what needs constant maintenance and fluid changes. |

I drive my ICE to the dealership once a year, and one hour later the above is all done (in the meantime I drink coffee and read a book nearby). Once a year. I wouldn't call that "constant maintenance and fluid changes". It's "yearly", as in "once a year".
I will be getting an EV in the future (we're setting up our house with solar and a V2H system - Vehicle To House), but that's not because an ICE needs constant engine maintenance. It doesn't.
