I understand they use different drive trains and that the entire system is built differently, but aren’t there still moving parts that should be lubricated and maintained?
Thanks in advance.

Those moving parts do still need lubrication.
But with an EV you can completely cover the moving bits and then that area wont get contaminated for a long time and therefore doesn’t need maintenance as much. That maintenance cycle can be decades long, to the point that something else goes wrong long because those do.
ICE cars need their oil changes pretty frequently because the very fact of using them means they get filthy with all the soot and stuff. Which ends up getting in the oil (I don’t know enough about cars to know if that’s on purpose and the oil is specifically *supposed* to soak that stuff up or if it’s just inevitable).
