Well equally where's your data? you've produce a shopping list of maintenence issues most of which are thngs that need to be done as part of routine servicing. I've accepted from the start that servicing costs are likely to be cheaper with EVs and have even been impressed that Nissan at least is not stiffing their customers completely.
Looking at the AA top 10 breakdown list, top of the list is a flat battery, then lost keys, there are three "mechanical" items in that list, the alternator, the starter motor and the clutch cable.
Misfuelling I'll accept as a ICE only fault (unless there are different incompatible charging systems for EVs) but that's not a mechanical issue. spark plugs...again is not mech. HT cables...again not mechanical, The equivalent RAC list is more of the same although they explicitly list electric cars running out of power.
Based on those lists I'd say the biggest factor in the reliability of any vehicle is the owner either doing dumb things or not servicing the vehicle properly.
