Cute line. Though the reality is that the service needs of modern autos during the first 5 years or so are likely to be pretty modest. Maybe a tire issue (which an EV could have also). Probably brake work which an EV may not require at that point. Various fluids--though oil changes are about 10K miles with synthetics.
One of my vehicles is about 17 years old with 170K miles. I wouldn't expect to get that out of an EV. Don't get me wrong. I'd be interested in an EV someday. But maintenance isn't a big deal within the window where I'd expect to have to replace an EV's battery pack at this point.
