I guess electric cars will be more reliable due to fewer parts.
No gearbox required, fuel tank, fuel pump, water pump, engine block, starter motor, catalytic converter, exhaust system, EGR valve, particulate burner thingamajig etc. Mechanical dials are being replaced by LCD panels.
Brakes will probably wear less.
On the other hand, battery manufacturing will increase as will cabling, mining, computer chips, cameras, LIDAR systems, radar systems, multi-processing computer systems to process LIDAR / images, mapping services, steering motors, servicing for these as they probably need to be kept in a tip top condition.
