The simple fact is the electric vehicle industry is being subsidized by our taxpayer money that can be measured in not just hundreds-of-millions, but billions of dollars. The well has already been poisoned and it will never be a fair and level playing field since the advanced technologies being developed will continue to benefit those same companies for an indefinite amount of time. Any fair discussion must include these details.
And this is not an opinion - these are facts.
I think both Consumer Reports and AAA have looked into comparing repair costs between EVs and ICE and conclude the repair costs are about 1/2 - 2/3 for EVs. This does not necessarily mean increased reliability, as there is much less preventative maintenance (oil changes etc) for EVs. But even if the reliability is not there yet, from a systems engineering perspective it seems like it is inevitable. In terms of development, EVs are still toddlers in comparison to ICE being wizened geezers.ckent323 said:rando - No argument .
I am simply looking for facts and data. Too many years as a systems engineer in the Space business to rely on anecdotal evidence I guess.
