There's still brakes, suspensions, tires, etc. to sell to EV buyers. Especially when EVs are so heavy that they have more wear on many of these.

The brakes last a lot longer because of regen, everything else applies but is pretty marginal, although I had to pay BMW $500 to replace a tire on my i4 because of a nail. I could have shopped around for that I guess.

What percent of people go to the car dealer for tires?

but nothing compared to the oil changes, filter changes, as well as an ICE having multiple moving parts, so more chances for something to break.
