CTOnews.com, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) it is widely believed that electric cars are less prone to problems than internal combustion engines. But the data show that this is not the case. According to the data collected by the Consumer report, the reliability of electric vehicles is significantly lower than that of traditional electric vehicles.

Consumer report (Consumer Reports) is a well-known American consumer rights organization that evaluates the reliability of all kinds of cars every year. CTOnews.com noted that the organization recently released a reliability comparison report on electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) and conventional fuel vehicles (ICE). The main findings of the report are as follows:

The reliability of electric vehicles is lower than that of conventional cars: the report shows that electric vehicles have 79% more reliability problems than conventional cars, while plug-in hybrid vehicles have 146% more reliability problems. This means that electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are more likely to break down and need to be repaired or replaced. According to the report, this is mainly because electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles are relatively new, and manufacturers are still solving technical problems.

Unplug-in hybrids are more reliable than conventional cars: the report shows that unplug-in hybrids have 26% fewer reliability problems than conventional cars. This is mainly because the technology of hybrid electric vehicles has been relatively mature and is mainly provided by some manufacturers with high reliability.

The reliability of different brands of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles varies greatly: the report shows that different brands of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles have different reliability performance. Tesla's electric car ranks medium in reliability. Its electric power system is stable, but its body, paint and air-conditioning systems are fragile. Ford's electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles have low reliability rankings, and their main products such as Fmuri 150, Bronco and Lightning all have reliability problems. Toyota's plug-in hybrid ranks high in reliability, and its RAV4 Prime is one of the most reliable models in the survey. Overall, Asian manufacturers dominate the reliability rankings.
