Ionna CEO Seth Cutler told The Drive nobody rushes through a gas station stop, pointing to Buc-ee's and Wawa—and EV drivers are no different.

    Yet EVs are much less reliable than many ICE vehicles. The control module is one of the weak points. When it fails the car is down until it’s replaced.

      As opposed to your ECU?

      You’re just making shit up

      Particularly when there’s less vibration, heat etc. to fuck with electronics

      You’re pushing an agenda here

      Why?

        Right. My “agenda” is simple. I would prefer an EV, but when in the middle of bumfuck Nevada when it’s 110F out I don’t want a car that can only be fixed at a dealer, and that may require a 3 week wait for parts.

      No

      Huge Study Shows EVs More Reliable Than ICE Cars With One Surprising Common Issue

      EVs averaged 4.2 breakdowns per 1,000 vehicles, while similarly aged combustion models more than doubled that rate

      https://www.carscoops.com/2025/04/new-study-shows-evs-are-more-reliable-than-ice-cars/

      Sorry for lazy copy/paste. 1st search result in ‘reliability EV ice’

        Case in point: https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/comments/1lfssfn/hyundais_iccu_problem_heres_what_we_know/

        The GM’s EV reliability is terrible. BMW, Lexus and Tesla are much better, but not looking for a luxury vehicle or a Tesla.

          Yeah but GM can’t make any kind of car reliable.

          Get a BYD

          But, I’m assuming you are a Yank, given your attitude, so you can’t get them

          But you don’t want an EV anyway

              Not in the slightest

              But the country is a joke and somehow simultaneously a disaster

          ‘Not looking for this or that’ means cherry picking… So I guess you are right in your own little world

          Also kudos for posting anecdotal evidence like it would mean something. You are really cheering up my day :)

        I figure I’d upset some EV fanboys with a dose of reality, but holy shit, you’re REALLY upset. Take your meds already.

          What you’ve posted is cherrypicking and factually and statistically wrong argument and you’re expecting people not calling bullshit?

      You could say that about a number of components on ICE vehicles.
