While I agree in principal with your post, there is more to
an ev than the motor(s), EVs complex battery.inverter charging
system, electronic systems and cooling systems are complex
and while these "parts" are in many cases miniature, they are nevertheless
parts .

And electronic parts while they may be relative cheap (particularly the generic ones)
fault diagnosis , rebuilding of boards etc is not. For example I had a repair
yesterday where the bill was $440 and the two electronic parts involved were just over $20 !

That's about the cost of a new valve timing belt & water pump replacement. !

Generally speaking properly designed and constructed non wearing parts will last much longer than moving parts that rub and flex. EVs do of course have many components that do wear out but they have a lot less of them than any ICE vehicle.
