Yes, EVs come with a lot less maintenance and running costs. You’ll have to excuse the Facebook-quality image, but this does neatly sum up the main differences:
For the routine stuff: no engine oil to replace, no engine air filter, regenerative braking means you barely use the real brakes. Electric engines are also much simpler so there’s just less to go wrong and need fixing.
Oil changes, spark plugs, coolant, transmission fluid, and belts are all things I’ve had to maintain for my partner’s car in the past few years that my EV doesn’t need.
lack of maintenance? I don’t see why it would be the case or why it would need less maintenance than a gas(thermal?) cars
No oil changes at the very least. There are also around a zillion moving parts in a gas engine, most of which can wear.

oh… I didn’t really put much thoughts on this… that just makes sense, thanks

You are not sure why EV’s need less maintenance? I don’t quite understand what you’re asking sorry
Yeah, I didn’t really thought about it before now and I got my answers from other comments 😅
