"...Per Consumer Reports...electric vehicles have 79 percent more reliability problems than a gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicle, on average. Plug-in hybrids fared even worse...Some of the most common problems electric car owners report are issues with electric drive motors, charging, and batteries.
"Tesla leads the pack and others are playing catch up, but in the years to come, it seems likely that EVs will become more reliable than gas and hybrid vehicles, especially when some of the automakers known for reliability, like Toyota, enter the EV segment in a meaningful way."
