In fact Toyota Prius and RAV4 hybrids are most reliable despite being far more complex than an ICE car which in turn is much more complex than EV. The stats are brought in from J.D Power survey and Consumer Reports.

At least Kia Niro EV is proving reliable according to the proverbial theory which says due to less number of parts, EVs should be more reliable.

My idea is that Tesla has far more things to break because everything is bound by the infotainment screen and the door handles etc. are also electronicized – hence it isn’t simple at all, in the pursuit of luxury and as a demo for high-tech, it has deliberately been made even more complex than an ICE/hybrid by adding tech even to those aspects which do not even need it.
