A better agile would have been. Affordable EVs are unreliable. E, maybe Obama can launch an affordable EV act that republicans can approve spending for.

The average age of cars in the US is 12.2 years. Very few EVs are that old. So the reliability of EVs is largely unknown.
On the other hand, the hybrids with nickel metal hydride batteries have been in production longer.

it has been my observation over the years, that if an electronic is going to fail, it’s usually on powerup
more electronics, more chances to not turn on

Wake me up when EV tech has advanced so they can be fully charged within 3 minutes at a gas station charging station and the national infrastructure is there that you can charge at any gas station in the US that carries EV chargers alongside the gas pumps. Otherwise I’ll take a half a loaf right now with a hybrid and no range anxiety

So are white goods appliances.
In the name of green, and feature rivalry, home appliance electronics has become more complex and less reliable. It uses less energy, has more features, but is less reliable, in my personal sample space over 40 years.
I had a simpler Maytag washer that was in still running in its 30th year.

In theory, having no mechanical transmission (maybe one exception), neither exhaust, water, nor engine air and lubrication systems as in ICEs should vastly reduce repairs, but I am wary of charges for software as well as electric generation costs (go nuclear) and what will be done to replace gas taxes. Battery disposal costs for one.
Then there are these teething problems you linked to:

They were not reliable over 100 years ago. Just when will this miracle occur that they will be?
Answer is never.
