The EV-specific failure they cite first is that they're finding EV's have reduced braking performance, basically because people are relying on regenerative braking to the point where their brake pads are rusting apart.
Usually this sort of thing only happens to the handbrake, e.g. to drivers of vehicles with an automatic transmission that place a lot of faith in the performance of their transmission's parking pawl.
If this sounds weird you probably haven't driven in Germany.
I love driving there, but if there's one country where I'd buy that a substantial number of drivers are OCD enough to have trained themselves to literally never press the brake pedal, it's the Germans.
