Are there any statistics out there that can make a comparison like this? I know there’s a comparison like this for vehicle fires and EVs came out way ahead
If these stats are hidden they shouldn’t be, all statistics should be able to be known

ADAC statistic (2023) for how often cars need roadside assistance (in german, but you can probably make out what the various graphics/tables mean or run it through google translate)
https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/unfall-schaden-panne/adac-pannenstatistik/
Key numbers:
Cars with need for roadside assistance (per 1000):
ICE: 6.9 total (of which: 2.5 due to 12V battery; 1.6 tires; 0.5 starter/lights/ignition; 0.6 keys/locks: 1.3 motor/motor management/high voltage system…and then various positions at 0.1 each for chassis, drive related systems, brakes and ‘other’)
EV: 4.9 total (of which: 2.5 due to 12V battery; 1.1 tires; 0.6 starter/lights/ignition; 0.2 keys/locks: 0.2 motor/motor management/high voltage system…and then various positions at 0.1 for chassis, other drive systems, brakes and 0 for ‘other’)
(I highlighted the block “motor/motor management/High voltage system” whicc is probably what you’re intersted in. Effectively ICEs break down 6-7 times as often due to issues in that area)
