Actually EVs break down a lot, more so than ICE or hybrid cars. It turns out that having fewer moving parts doesn't compensate for incompetent engineering and shoddy manufacturing.

PHEVs break down more than full electric BEV or normal ICE vehicles.

Hybrids (ie not plug in) have the least defects, but basically equal to normal ICE vehicles.

But BEV is improving YoY relative to ICE.
