Why do some e-bike components wear out faster under electric assist?

If you have been riding ebike for a while, you might have observed that chains, cassettes, and even brake pads seem to degrade quicker than on normal bikes. The extra torque from motors changes how stress is distributed across parts. How fast are the components on your ebike wearing?
 
E-Bikes rely heavily on electric assistance in order to be functionally active. So, the reason why most e-bike components degrade faster because of its electric assist is mainly as a result of increased mechanical stress due to higher overall usage. When any electric device is over used, it wears out faster.
