It is possible to look at it that way. OR...........a person might say that because an EV has much fewer parts than an IC Engine vehicle - and does NOT need oil changes - both of which would mean that the IC Engine vehicle will spend MUCH more TIME in the repair shop (SOMETIMES DAYS).
........I just think that it makes sense that as EVs mature and develop that THEY will win the reliability argument over the ICE vehicles.
