Europe was 20% in 2023 and 25% in 2024. I think they're past the dabble phase.
- feikinius 2y agoquick query in google says only 400k out of the 38 million vehicles in Spain are electric EVs are expensive and unreliable for the time being
- rapsey 2y agoUnreliable what? How?
- speedgoose 2y agoUnreliable ?
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoMy Californian Fiat 500e is the most reliable car I've ever owned. On the other hand, my friend's Model 3 has some recall or problem roughly every six months. So, I guess it depends on which EV you buy, but I'm pretty sure the most reliable EVs are more reliable than the most reliable ICEs, simply because they have fewer moving parts (quite literally).
- rapsey 2y agoRecall problem as in a software update?
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoNo, stuff he had to go to the shop for. At one point, they had to replace the brakes, then the whole chassis suspension (or something like that, I'm not sure if I understood exactly what he said), then one of the cameras didn't work anymore, and then the windshield wipers didn't come on automatically. Something breaks or needs to be replaced due to a recall at oddly regular intervals.
- jerlam 2y agoI also know someone who's Tesla also seems to have constant problems. Even so, they love the vehicle, underscoring that the EV drivetrain is such a step up from ICE that if everything around it is mediocre, it doesn't matter.
- rapsey 2y agoI doubt that is the norm. Tesla does have very high customer satisfaction numbers.
- ytpete 2y agoDepending on how consumer satisfaction surveys are phrased, it totally could be the norm, given this: > Even so, they love the vehicle I.e. if Tesla owners are constantly having maintenance issues but manage to still love their vehicles despite that, then their satisfaction is still high.
- tialaramex 2y agoYep, fewer moving parts tends to mean more reliable. Jet engines versus piston engines in aeroplanes is an example that's not about electricity, the difference in reliability is enormous, maybe 100:1 ratio.
- Gud 2y agoElectric cars are a new phenomenon. You don’t need to be a genius to figure that the old stock will be gasoline and diesel.

- rapsey 2y agoI just got my first EV in Europe and seriously contemplating changing my second car to an EV as well. Driving an EV is goddamn fantastic.
- Arnt 2y agoI live in Munich, where the main BMW factory is. That factory's currently being reconstructed to only produce EVs. Dabbling it's not.
