EVs still have a ton of shit that will invariably break and need repairing/replacement at some point. A huge amount stuff I've had to fix on my cars had nothing to do with the engine/transmission and are universal on road vehicles: Brakes, rust, wipers, plastic in direct sunlight, digital displays, head lights, dozens of belts and motors that run on tracks, mechanical doors, AC.
Most of which can be repaired with a stop at parts store and a couple of common tools IF the manufacturer hasn't locked it behind some bullshit security bolt or a lockout chip.
