They say this whilst trying their best to make EVs the printers of the car industry. Update? The car stops and bricks itself for the duration of it. Want basic features? You have to pay a monthly subscription for the car you already payed for. Need it repaired? Have to bring it to a dealership with criminal prices because every part is serialized and they have you by the balls. Need a new battery after it kicks the bucket in 4-5 years? Expect to pay $10-20k for a new one. Oh and of course the center terminal/tablet is now crucial for the cars function, so anytime that malfunction it bricks itself again. Oh and it will always track and spy on you with GPS and onboard cameras and microphones.
They are trying their best to hold on to their customers.
I read somewhere that ICE vehicles need lots of parts routinely changed (oil, filters, seals, belts, rollers, spark plugs, exhaust pipes, etc.), and that’s where the money is.
Also cars are getting lots of electronics regardless of propulsion type. EU needs them to include SOS system, lane assist, road sign recognition…
Sorry, but what about that is specific to EVs? Nothing you mention is specific to EVs, but applies to all new cars. Except for your unwarranted fearmongering about the battery. Basically every car manufacturer offers a 8 year warranty on the battery, so you can assume that they last longer than that.

I don’t have any of that with my EV, certainly no subscription stuff, nor overcharging for service, because a service is significantly easier
Not to any degree different from in ICE vehicle
You’re just spouting shit
I agree but realistically the only electric car you’re getting without any of that is a Lunar Rover.
