On average, electric vehicles are less reliable than other cars and trucks, Consumer Reports finds | CBC News https://bit.ly/3Rmc1Ri #EVs #ConsumerReports #Reliability #cdnpoli @canadiangreens @cdnpoli

@ap236 @canadiangreens @cdnpoli I'd suggest that lumping all #EVs together in one category is a mistake. Some are built by car manufacturers like Nissan, with long experience in producing a sound product. Others, like Tesla, are new to motor vehicle design and manufacture.

I'm in four online support groups for EV drivers and I don't see anything like 80% more reliability issues.

What I do see is drivers tackling a system that's new to them and being tripped up by their lack of knowledge and experience.

You'd be amazed how many "breakdowns" turn out to be a flat or dead 12volt battery, the driver was simply so focused on the functioning of the #EV system that they forgot the 12volt. Sometimes the driver doesn't even know their car has a standard 12 volt car battery! Let alone that they can be jump started like any other car.
