People with electric cars, what's the maintenance dynamic like? I assume "standard" things like brake pads can be changed by any random mechanic, but how about the rest?

Virtually no maintenance. Tire rotation and wiper fluid is about it. Also the inside stays cleaner since there’s no burning oil or fumes. The “clean” interior is one of the biggest surprises of owning an EV.
Removing the gas engine also removes almost all of the required maintenance, it's wonderful
@federicomena that's the neat thing: there is very little maintenance! I think all we've had done in two years of owning a ~10-year-old Nissan Leaf is someone looked at the brakes (they were fine, because it mostly uses regenerative braking) and we got new tires. There is no oil, or gears, or transmission, or even power steering fluid. It's a big gadget and just kinda works.
