Electric cars are going to have way fewer engine/transmission/brake issues. The nature of regenerative breaking means that you don't use the actual friction pads/rotors much. The nature of the electric motor means there's usually no transmission, and way fewer moving parts (and way less heat/explosive energy) than an ICE engine.

Battery issues are going to be way more expensive on an electric or hybrid car than an ICE car, which I think would be the primary downside.
