EVs are not "more complex". Do you realize your gasoline engine cost billions and took a half decade to design? Putting a bunch of laptop batteries under your floorboards isn't exactly the hardest concept to understand. The induction motor has been driving every industry, nearly every appliance in your home has one, keeping people alive in hospitals and schools with chillers and air handlers, keeping half the cities in the US from turning back into swampland for an entire century. The induction motor isn't more complex than a modern gasoline engine.
Oh what about all the electronics?
Would your gasoline engine work if it didn't have electronics? Injection drivers, flywheel induction pickups, knock sensors, richness feedback loops, spark plug coil packs, OBD self-diagnosis and reporting... none of this shit is necessary with electric.
The EV electric drive unit is a regenerative VFD connected to a gas pedal. These have been around in one form or another for 40 years. Its not that fucking complicated, not even a little.
