I would really like deeper information about where the reliability issues are. Consumer reports did a report showing Tesla had so many more recalls, but most of the recalls were just software updates that fixed driving software. I'm much more concerned with not having my car breakdown, than random issues like not getting the charging range I expected or needing a software update, etc. I don't find the brand by brand reliability ranking very useful when comparing vehicles that have a very different profile from the other's. I need more meaningful data to make a judgment on buying vs not buying.

It gets worse, they appear to have included EV's going back 20 years. The sheer gulf in function and reliability between a 2003 EV and a 2023 EV strikes me as so immense that it must skew the chart to an extent. > CR is known for buying cars for its own test fleet, but for its annual auto reliability survey, the organization cast a wider net. Specifically, it gathered data from 330,000 owners of vehicles from model year 2000 onwards, and it uses that survey data to generate reliability scores for each vehicle and model year. Sorry, 23 years.

Also, forgive my ignorance, it is my understanding that EVs have way less moving parts than gas, and that is the reason why there is less maintenance needed. How's the title true?
