I read the summary, but the bolded above doesn't make any sense, even in the context of lower European usage; 8.5 years of driving in N. America would, on average, be over 170,000km... Sign me up for the ICE car I can drive for 170k without needing anything...

It's also hard to determine whether they're referring to mechanical repair, or cosmetic repair from collision damage.
