Better electronics and more precision controls have made vehicles more reliable. As well as more precise manufacturing techniques. Better lubricants play a big part as well.

I wouldnt trust many 4 bangers at those ranges, high strung turbo 4 bangers are hard on oil, thats a fact. And who knows whether an EV battery will last that long and what its going to cost for a replacement. I wouldnt mind an EV for an extra vehicle, but for my main driver not yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
