my original comment and your response are about how EVs and ICEs stack up, not whether or not ICEs are sufficient. anyway, using the brakes less can only be good. they arent used seldom enough for rust to be a problem. ive never heard of anyone having that problem. and stressing the brakelines less often can only have a positive effect on their reliability. but anyway this claim that 95% percent of when something breaks down its unrelated to the engine is just obviously silly. a very quick search reveals that it isnt true. catalytic converter replacement and oxygen sensor replacement are the two most common repairs for cars seems to be the consensus. and neither of those are present on an ev. all the other items that come up are engine related or ICE exclusive. replacing spark plugs, loose gas cap, gaskets, coolant sensor. this is not surprising. if you can find an analysis of the distribution of different car repairs that says otherwise then go ahead and post the link. a very large percentage of repairs are ICE exclusive, so EVs are more reliable. and even if ICE components only accounted for 5% of repairs, they would account for 90% of repairs that cost a ton of money to fix. transmission, fuel, exhaust and engine. good riddance.
