Studies comparing reliability of EVs vs. gas cars report conflicting results
- In 2024, ADAC's data from 3.6 million breakdowns indicated EVs had fewer issues.
- This data, gathered by ADAC, covers cars registered between 2020 and 2022.
- EVs experienced 4.2 breakdowns per 1,000 vehicles, with ICE cars at 10.4, showing a difference.
- The 12-volt battery caused 50% of EV breakdowns, while tires caused 1.3 per 1,000 incidents.
- Despite ADAC's findings, other reports suggest EVs may have more reliability issues, citing tech glitches.
