Re: Servicing
Oddly, I'm about to book a full service for my aged Mondeo. Let's see how much of the checklist would apply to an eCar...
Bodywork checks
Light checks
ABS
Horn
Windscreen
Power steering
Battery checks
Handbrake
Coolant system
Suspension
Mountings
Wheel bearings
Brake disks/pads
I don't know how many of those have direct analogues in an eCar, but it's certainly above zero, and there's going to be things which are specific to eCars (e.g. regenerative braking systems).
Fundamentally, and regardless of the engine technology, a car is stuffed full of moving parts and is generally left outside at the mercy of the weather, which in many places means it has to deal with freezing temperatures in winter and boiling temperatures in summer, alongside all the other little things which can cause corrosion and wear (e.g. salt on the roads during winter).
So you're always going to need some degree of regular servicing and/or inspections.
