Almost no ICE vehicle requires “timing belts, transmission work, etc” outside of failures (which happen on EVs also) in the first 100k. That’s why manufacturer’s 10yr/100k power train warranties aren’t uncommon. Electric vehicles also go through tires faster due to their heavier weight, and ICE vehicles don’t require installation of a home charger, which on a 10k mile oil change schedule would more than offset oil changes by cost.

All of the things that are likely to break (electronics and sensors, usually) are the same for electric, and failures can happen with either vehicle.

Electric has “less” maintenance and no gas, but let’s not reverse-uno marketing FUD with more FUD.
