As I understand it, repairs are expensive, but general maintenance is less, because there isn't as much to maintain.

You're parroting Tesla's Marketing.

Any mechanical product with 1000s and 1000s of parts made by complex machines also, with 1000s of ways to make mistakes is going to have lots of opportunity for problems that need fixing.

A Tesla has all the same bearings, bushings and whatnot holding it off the ground and putting power to the road.

EV gets rid of a ton of leak points compared to ICE. All the normal wear and tear stuff is exorbitantly expensive with Tesla because of how few shops can service them and you usually have to go through Tesla for parts.
