If you DON'T INCLUDE battery costs, then EVs begin to be cheaper in maintenance after ~3 years (in the first 3 months they cost ~2.3x more in maintenance and this figure gradually reduces). However, there have not been significant studies that go beyond this range which is when battery issues/replacements start to factor in. I wouldn't be surprised if after 10 years maintenance costs for EVs would again be higher than for ICE https://s3-prod.autonews.com/2021-05/We%20Predict%20APA%20Presentation.pdf https://s3-prod.autonews.com/2021-05/We%20Predict%20APA%20Pr...
