Lexus and Toyota took the top spots for brand reliability, followed by Mini, Acura, Honda, and Subaru.
And while EVs are growing in popularity, CR’s members experience 79 percent MORE problems with their EVs compared to gas-powered cars. EV trouble spots include issues with charging, electric motors, and battery problems.
“Our members are reporting the same issues with most EVs as they are with vehicles that have been designed brand new from the ground up, whether they’re gas or electric.

WHERE do you store those???
POPULAR in NYC-—but setting fire to apartments......
When I got it home I plugged it into the wall and 14 hours later the battery went from completely empty to about 10%.
It was then that I knew I would never,*EVER*,own an EV.
My friend takes the batteries out and stores them away from his house. Maybe an out building.
They seem to be very popular at the body shop ... sure saw a lot of them there.
The i3 is hot garbage. The only EV I would own is Tesla.
Get ready for the government to sue insurance companies for “red lining” EVs. They’ll be told you cannot charge a premium for EV insurance, so everybody’s rates will go up to cover the higher losses on EVs.
I’m surprised that the FJB government hasn’t done this already,
Unless Trump gets elected, of course.
That house is in SoCal, and cost depends on how much you charge. I’m on an SCE rate plan for EVs that charges $0.29/kWh off-peak, and .55 on-peak.

I used to trust CR..regarding cars...reports seem to be written by Karen’s.
Funniest criticism I remember was that they commented that a Chevy truck had a shortcoming in that it rode like a truck.
Would have never brought my 331,000, and counting, mile Chevy Cobalt if I had listened to them.
