Apr 17, 2025 - Electric vehicles vs. gas cars; comparing reliability



A pair of separate reports presented differing conclusions on the reliability of electric vehicles compared to gas-powered cars. The German Automobile Club found gas-powered models break down more often, but the United Kingdom`s Automobile Association reported a slightly higher breakdown rate for EVs.
The German Automobile Club says EVs suffer 4.2 breakdowns per 1,000 vehicles versus 10.4 per 1,000 for combustion cars. The Automobile Association cited issues like charging cable problems and software glitches among the reasons why electric models experience more issues.
