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.
How many years until they recommend Rivian is acceptable to you? Or did they do that already and I missed it?
Rivian started to release cars in 2021, so they better work on getting out of 28/30 place in another year or two according to your own logic.
Let’s hope they do better.
Do send along the CR report where they put Rivian in 28/30. I look forward to that, because your graphic wasn’t on the CR site, or The Hill’s article about the CR article.
