All of this is basically still there in another form.

1. If you count drive gearing, it has a transmission. Teeth will experience wear if not properly maintained.

2. Almost all modern EVs now are oil cooled. There are a few exceptions. See above.

3. All have a radiator for cooling. See above.

4. The 'exhaust system' is 100% gone. Heat the only waste product.

5. There is plenty of rubber and plastic hoses and gaskets in EVs that will break during the lifetime of the vehicle, just like they do in ICE.

I totally agree that the service is much less of a burden to the owner. About an order of magnitude less 'work' for them.
