I would have agreed with you but Consumer Reports did a study https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Maintenance-Cost-White-Paper-9.24.20-1.pdf https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2020.... that said this wasn't the case.
"Analysis of real-world maintenance and repair cost data from thousands of CR members shows that BEV and PHEV owners are paying half as much as ICE owners are paying to repair and maintain their vehicles."
"The data were filtered to remove:
● Incomplete responses.
● Vehicles that reported traveling less than 2,000 miles in the past 12 months.
● Vehicles that reported traveling more than 60,000 miles in the past 12 months.
● Vehicles that reported maintenance costs of over $20,000 over the past 12 months.
● Vehicles with more than 200,000 total miles."
