Ok even if the statistic isn't wildly misleading. It's not such a bad thing. How long have we been doing gas cars? How long have we been doing ev's? How does the scale of the two match up.

Tons of resources have gone into the reliability of gas cars. EV's do not have the same amount of time and resources pooled to it. It's not a fatal flaw of the concept.

The internal combustion engine has been innovated and improved over a 100+ years. We've had plenty of time to experiment with changes and make it incredibly efficient while also addressing reliability issues caused by the engine itself. Not to mention, reliability issues are the sort of thing you find over long term use of a product, and we're only just getting to the point where EVs have been around for long enough.

What do you mean it's not such a bad thing? This sounds like the "it's good for bitcoin" era of fanboyism. Shit doesn't work and consumers are eating the costs

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
