EVs only use physical brakes under sharp breaking and parking, so they wear down less.

In over 30 years driving I only ever had a breakdown away from home because of a gearbox failure. (I buy all my cars second hand but young, so that someone else has done the expensive bit of depreciation, and I don't buy American cars.)
