They'll be fine - EVs still have suspensions, brakes, and other serviceable parts.
The other day a friend of mine bought his first car - a 2008 Honda Jazz.
Stuff that needed to be replaced from the get go:
-front stabilizer link rods.
-front discs
-brake pads
-AC pump
-12V battery
-front lights
Regarding combustion-related parts there's the muffler and oxygen sensor, but that's it.
His case is fairly typical.
Also there's a more immediate danger looming - newer diesels are so sophisticated that quite often repairing them is uneconomical. The same will happen sooner or later to gasoline, because usually it's the costly stuff like injectors and the flywheel that fails.
