I'll put it this way, as we own both an electric and an ICE.

The maintenance costs we've paid keeping our ICE running would pay for a full replacement of our electric motor in about 3-4 years.

The maintenance for our electric so far has been new tires and windshield wipers.

That’s just an anecdatum. I’ve spent a fraction of that on my 20-year ICE.
