On the other hand, the Social Score of the owners goes up by 80%. So it’s a wash.
How do EVs have “engine failures?”
.
They are chock full of issues.
From a Mechanic that left his position to work on EVs exclusively. He simply said, stay away.
I don’t think I’d lump long charging times in with car problems. That’s like saying a gasoline pump that can only pump 0.1 gpm is a “car problem.”
Biggest problem of all: a lot more expensive to purchase.
Duh... For us common folks.
In calculating a vehicle’s average problem rate, the organization assigned extra weight to serious problems such as battery or engine failures.
Why extra weight, to tip the scales one way against an E.V.? Let the stats fall where they may, without tipping the results. I have had an EV for almost 5 years, without a single problem. I also have several gas vehicles, that have had some minor problems over the years. Then again, I work on my own ICE cars, having rebuilt engines. But from what I’ve seen, ICE cars have numerous problems that can bite your wallet. On an EV, very few (except for the charging stations issue).

He doesn’t care, he’s got his fingers in the Heinz “pickle jar”
There’s almost nothing “free-market” about EVs. Its America’s own version of political, central-government, central planning.
The guy is still a lying pussy loser.

Many types of cars experience problems and sometimes recalls after the earliest sales years are over. I think the EVs are not even near the number many serious problems coming.
I predict both insurance company snubs (or sky high rates) for them soon and also used car lots refusing to accept the EVs (as for trade-ins on new cars). Used one probably has a few months before costly new batteries to buy.
Although EV’s are one of the larger missteps by this administration, this article seems rather well timed with the release of the Tesla Cyber truck. Almost seems as if the media is out to get Musk.
They are misquoting CR:
“...The annual car reliability survey by Consumer Reports found EVs are 79 percent more likely to have problems than conventional cars. Consumers reported electric drive motors, charging and EV batteries had the most common issues associated with EVs, according to the survey....”
If wasn't 80%, it was only 79%.
I mean it's the same number of numerals, so why not print the correct number instead of LYING for 1 measly percent?
We were promised nuclear powered cars.
