Yet EVs are much less reliable than many ICE vehicles. The control module is one of the weak points. When it fails the car is down until it's replaced.

    No

    Huge Study Shows EVs More Reliable Than ICE Cars With One Surprising Common Issue

    EVs averaged 4.2 breakdowns per 1,000 vehicles, while similarly aged combustion models more than doubled that rate

    Sorry for lazy copy/paste. 1st search result in 'reliability EV ice'

    Case in point: https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/comments/1lfssfn/hyundais_iccu_problem_heres_what_we_know/

    The GM's EV reliability is terrible. BMW, Lexus and Tesla are much better, but not looking for a luxury vehicle or a Tesla.

    'Not looking for this or that' means cherry picking... So I guess you are right in your own little world

    Also kudos for posting anecdotal evidence like it would mean something. You are really cheering up my day :)

    Get a BYD

    But, I'm assuming you are a Yank, given your attitude, so you can't get them

    But you don't want an EV anyway

    I figure I'd upset some EV fanboys with a dose of reality, but holy shit, you're REALLY upset. Take your meds already.

    As opposed to your ECU?

    You're just making shit up

    Particularly when there's less vibration, heat etc. to fuck with electronics

    You're pushing an agenda here

    Why?

    Right. My "agenda" is simple. I would prefer an EV, but when in the middle of bumfuck Nevada with no cell service when it's 110F out, I don't want a car that can only be fixed at a dealer and that may require a 3 week wait for parts.
