This shouldn’t be a surprise. There are less moving parts. No oil changes, no transmission fluid (no transmission?), etc., etc…

There is a transmission and fluid.
Some EVs still have a gearbox with fluid in it, they just dont change gears but use it to set gear ratio and transmit power. -

It used to be. When I was a kid, my parents car and my uncle's car both had a battery gauge on the instrument cluster. Fast forward to when I was 18 and I got my first car, imagine my surprise when it didn't have one and I found out that basically no cars have one these days. I remember asking the dealer about it and just getting a blank stare.
