00:00 - OPEN - Electric Vehicles Are Less Reliable Than Gas Cars According To Consumer Reports Latest Member Survey
Which do you think is more reliable? An EV or a Conventional gas-powered car? Well in moment I’ll tell you about some surprising, and maybe not so surprising reliability results for Electric Vehicles from Consumer Reports.
00:50 - INTRO - Are EVs Really Less Reliable?
Each year, Consumer Reports puts out an in-depth reliability survey to their members that covers a wide range of the types of consumer products, including automobiles. The results of this year's survey indicated that Electric Vehicles have a lot more issues than their gas powered competitors.
02:10 - Survey Says: YES!
- EVs from the past 3-years had 79% MORE Issues compared to gas-powered vehicles
- Hybrid vehicles had 26% LESS issues compared to gas vehicles
- And PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid-Electric Vehicles) were the worst performing category with 146% MORE issues compared to the typical gas-engine vehicle
05:55 - Why Does This Matter To You?
If you’re considering an EV or a conventional late model used car with a high fuel economy rating in the next year or two, your best option may be a hybrid. I think a hybrid continues to be a better option for most people – at least for now – compared to an EV.
Fuel-Saving Vehicle Options:
- Get a Hybrid Vehicle, such as a Toyota Prius, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or a Toyota RAV4 Prime, then enjoy the fuel savings without range anxiety
- Buy an inexpensive used EV and combine it with an SUV for weekend adventures
09:25 - CLOSE
If you’re in the market for something that uses less fuel, whether its gas or electric or in between, just remember that by the numbers – at least Consumer Report's numbers – EV’s in general, still have a way to go to match the reliability of gas-powered cars. Plug in Hybrids have even more issues, but Hybrids seem to be the most reliable choice in a fuel-efficient vehicle, for now. Of course, your mileage may vary, but you’re more likely to have good luck with a late-model Hybrid.
