Not all that relevant from a maintenance perspective though. Electric motors essentially Don't Fail.

- rurban 2y agoHigh-performance electric motors do fail all the time. They overheat, position sensors are slipping, the converters IGBT's last max 6 years. You are talking simple engines, I'm talking high-end engines.
- Panzer04 2y agoIn the context of the motor alone, those don't fail. The circuits driving it probably have a higher failure rate, but we've gotten so good at manufacturing electrical circuits it still seems much easier and cheaper than a mechanical engine.
- rurban 2y agoI worked with high performance electrical engines. They do fail all the time. Not in cheap consumer cars though.
