All of my electric and hybrid cars break down because of the tires (automatic breaking for regen causes them to lose tread faster), inverter (blown pcb capacitors), and high voltage cable insulation failure (road salt and snow/water intrusion). Everything else has been absurdly reliable.

Tyre issue might be EV owners not knowing how to change one. The 12v battery as well as other ICE issues are likely due to poor maintenance.
