Electric vehicles less reliable because of newer technologies, Consumer Reports finds


Recommended Posts

Cell phone and laptop batteries are really kind of time rated for a couple of years and that is the basic tech of what we find in electric cars.  The problem is the average age of car ownership has gone up as the cars have become more reliable which is going to hurt electric cars by design.  Maybe if a battery pack can be made for less money it will work out but right now not so much.

Eek.  GM hardly makes any electrics and they are bringing up the rear.  Are GM vehicles really that bad on reliability as laid out by consumer reports.

As an overall brand, Tesla moved up four spots in the reliability rankings compared with last year but remained below average. Other brands with lower-than-average reliability included Chevrolet, GMC, Volkswagen, Jeep and Mercedes-Benz.

On the other hand, Full-Sized Pickup Trucks is the least reliable category, with an average score of 30. The second least reliable category is Electric Vehicles (cars and SUVs) with an average predicted reliability of 36.
