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.
Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports, noted that there may be “growing pains” among EVs because they are based on new technology or are being manufactured by new upstart companies, such as Rivian. He said companies “need some time to work out the bugs,” according to the magazine.
Plug-in hybrids are more likely to have more issues than gas-powered cars, EVs and hybrid vehicles. The survey said that plug-in hybrids have 146 percent more problems than gas-powered cars.
Does “an issue charging” include the broken machines? If so that’s not an issue with the EV, that’s an issue with the charger. That’d be like including every downed nozzle someone drove to in an ICE vehicle as an issue as well
FTA:
Sounds good then
Assuming it’s actually issue switch the car and not operator error (something I see depressingly frequently are people at other fast chargers on a call with support claiming there’s an issue when they just can’t read instructions)
