Although today's fuel vehicles are gradually moving towards a fork in the road of new energy vehicle development, and even pure electric vehicles have become the main force of development in the future, according to the results of the 2023 auto brand reliability survey released by Consumer Reports, a third-party evaluation agency in the United States, the reliability of electric vehicles is much lower than that of internal combustion motorcycles.
Consumer Reports, which collects data from more than 330,000 vehicle owners for model years from 2000 to 2024, shows that electric vehicles are on average nearly 80 percent less reliable than internal combustion engine vehicles, despite fewer components and simpler drivetrain design. Plug-in hybrids are even less reliable, with 146% more problems than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. Interestingly, the long-established conventional hybrid hybrids scored the highest, generating 26% fewer problems compared to internal combustion engine vehicles.

Consumer Reports shows that the development of new technologies in electric vehicles means that early adopters will have to address a number of issues before reliability can improve. Jake Fisher, senior director of automotive testing at Consumer Reports, said in an interview with foreign media that the longer a vehicle or technology takes to produce, the more errors will be solved, and manufacturers who produced electric vehicles earlier are improving reliability.
Fisher went on to suggest that if you want to buy a Tesla, you should buy a Model 3 that undergoes a facelift, not a Cybertruck, because the Model 3 has been in production for years, which means that most of the production flaws have been fixed. The Cybertruck, on the other hand, is a brand new vehicle that, once on the market, can experience many growing pains .

In Consumer Reports' study, the electric pickup segment was the worst performer. The group currently consists of only two vehicles: the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T. According to the survey, Ford is dealing with issues related to batteries and charging, while Rivian faces challenges in terms of build quality and climate control features. This proves that neither new start-ups nor traditional car manufacturers are immune to the initial problems that come with electric vehicles.

The biggest surprise in this study comes from the traditional HEV model, which is positioned as the most reliable type of drivetrain. According to Consumer Reports, this is because traditional hybrid technology has been around for many years, and although it is not the latest and most talked-about technology, it can make car owners feel more reliable.
