With the rapid development of electric vehicles, more and more manufacturers have increased their research and development efforts, but for electric vehicles, some media have expressed their views. Recently, The Smart Car Pie learned from the authoritative magazine Consumer Report that its latest report said: "Electric vehicles have low reliability and more problems than traditional fuel vehicles."
The data shows that compared with fuel vehicles, the incidence of problems with electric vehicles in similar models is significantly higher. The probability of electric vehicles having problems in on-board electronics, noise and liquid leakage, power equipment, body hardware, etc. is very high.
The magazine pointed out that the electric vehicles on the market are either produced by new car-making forces such as Tesla, Lucid and Rivian in the United States and China's "Wei Xiaoli", or by traditional car manufacturers who have recently developed the first electric vehicle, and because they are not familiar with the automobile manufacturing process or are not familiar with the characteristics of electric vehicles, it is easy to affect the quality and reliability of electric vehicles.
Ranking of the most reliable car brands in 2021
It is worth mentioning that Consumer Reports previously selected the most reliable car brands in 2021. Among them, the top three most reliable car brands are Mazda, BMW, and Subaru. The magazine also said tesla's ranking fell compared to last year due to reliability issues with the Model S/Y/X.
