You want to tell that to the Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Autozones of the world? That their business model in a few years is going to be rotating/changing tires and topping off wiper fluids?
ICE cars (including modern ones) require so much maintenance they have entire franchises dedicated to the maintenance of those cars.
BEVs almost never need new brakes. Regenerative braking means you rarely use the brake. There are only two times the actual physical brakes are applied: high speed deceleration and parking. And if you're doing the former that frequently you are a menace.
Mechanical issues are not maintenance. The drive train on a EV is so simple that manufacturers have to invent new tools and procedures. EV techs are more likely to have an electrician or computer background than a auto mechanic background.
Prius owners would like to have a talk. Their brakes got rusted and seized because they were using regen braking instead. All BEVs using brake discs will have this problem. Also the reason why VW used drum brakes in their ID.3
