According to an article on Consumerreports.org, electric vehicles are less reliable than conventional gas powered vehicles. “Electric vehicle owners continue to report far more problems with their vehicles than owners of conventional cars or hybrids, according to Consumer Reports’ newly released annual car reliability survey.”
However, plug-in hybrid vehicles have reported to have less problems than fully electric vehicles. “Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which have both a battery for short-range electric driving and an internal combustion engine for long-range driving, are the least reliable category—146 percent more problems than conventional cars.”
