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.
One brand brings the average down. Can anybody guess which one? 🤔
Rivian, according to the article. Saved you a click.
Yeah, the problem is it isn’t Rivian. I own one, and I previously owned the actual shitty brand.
“Rivian and legacy auto makers” saved you another click.
Tesla, bud. Sorry to tell you, it’s Tesla that sucks.
Mini at #3 is the most shocking part of this.
People love their Minis, bruh.
Oh I love them too. My family has had a few and all of them have had major mechanical failures at under 100k miles. They are just more cheaply made BMWs after all.
Hilarious that you included the graphic proving you aren’t talking about EVs, but hybrids, phev, and bev. You’re confused about the topic being discussed, clearly.
Go ahead to their ratings page, select BEVs, and order by score. You’ll kind the EV6 is at the top. If you had actually read their entire article, you would see that they said PHEVs are less reliable than BEVs as a class.
“Oh no you brought facts and information to my feelings!”
Cope more.
Says the one that quoted a partial sentence to try to support their bullshit take. The article literally says this is the first year that CR recomments the MODEL Y, and only because they suspect the drivertrain issues have mostly been solved. After 7 years of production vehicles. Amazing stuff.
I’m guessing you’re an investor but not an owner to be working this hard to bend what CR reported. What a shame.
