Not surprising given the drastically reduced number of moving parts in an EV Powertrain vs an IC Powertrain.
Interestingly though I suspect the high percentage of battery related issues will in turn manage to keep the average maintenance bill at about the same. Granted that’s a problem likely to be fixed with improved battery technologies and the reduced frequency of problems is worth something in itself.
One thing I’m wary of is planned obsolescence like in almost every other electr(on)ic device
That’s why a real right to repair is so important.
I want one billionair who has enough of this bullshit and starts a company that builds stuff to last. It would be a goldmine, I’m sure. Because if people build trust in this brand they will gladly pay a good price for cars, dishwashers or printers that are durable and easy to repair.
Or do we have to do this by ourselfs somehow?But thats sadly not what makes billions ist seems…
Apple used to be that way, but they too got caught in the enshittification cycle.
It’s just too easy to build up a brand and then sell cheap shit for big money.
I’m curious, are you talking about batteries or ev in general?
Both. I imagine EVs with an Apple-like repair policy would be a nightmare
Would? You can buy a Tesla today
The 44.1% battery failure figure is regarding the “starter” battery (12V) and is combined from all vehicles in the study (EV and ICE).
The HV Battery for the traction drive is grouped together with any kind of motor failure and comes in at 22.8 %. But this figure also includes ICE vehicles ejecting piston rods etc.
The only EV vs ICE numbers stated directly are the total breakdowns per 1000 vehicles at 1.9 (EV) and 3.6 (ICE).
I’d be really interested in a chart showing the failure categories separated by EV and ICE.

Bauteile: Wo Elektroautos im Vorteil sind
Hier bis jetzt Homer einfügen
Das ist normal. E Autos sind noch recht neu und die Unternehmen haben noch keine Absatzprobleme wegen Sättigung. Früher oder später werden die aber auch dort Obsoleszenzen einbauen. Richtig alte Verbrenner sind auch viel robuster als so manch moderner SUV.
Dass das der Fall ist, war eh klar. Konkrete Zahlen waren aber bisher immer noch schwierig zu beziffern, weil die Anzahl der Fahrzeuge recht klein war.
Jetzt sind wir was die Zulassungszahlen betrifft aber in einem Bereich, wo solche statistischen Auswertungen auch Sinn ergeben und auf ein paar Jahre Datenbasis zurückgreifen können. Der ID.3 ist jetzt z.B. 3,5 Jahre am Markt.
