There seems to be a move from car manufacturers away from belts/mechanical towards electric. For example, water pumps that have traditionally been driven by belts, are now driven by electricity. Or power steering has gone from belts and fluid to electric power steering.
Which ones tend to hold up longer in the long run: belts/mechanical components or electrically driven components? Which costs less to maintain in the lifespan of a car?

I think they're are doing it for tiny improvements in fuel economy, by sacrificing everything you just said.
That means more of them end up in the landfill so how is that good for the planet.
