Not surprising given the drastically reduced number of moving parts in an EV Powertrain vs an IC Powertrain.

Interestingly though I suspect the high percentage of battery related issues will in turn manage to keep the average maintenance bill at about the same. Granted that's a problem likely to be fixed with improved battery technologies and the reduced frequency of problems is worth something in itself.

One thing I'm wary of is planned obsolescence like in almost every other electr(on)ic device

That’s why a real right to repair is so important.

I want one billionair who has enough of this bullshit and starts a company that builds stuff to last. It would be a goldmine, I'm sure. Because if people build trust in this brand they will gladly pay a good price for cars, dishwashers or printers that are durable and easy to repair.
Or do we have to do this by ourselfs somehow?

But thats sadly not what makes billions ist seems...

Apple used to be that way, but they too got caught in the enshittification cycle.

It’s just too easy to build up a brand and then sell cheap shit for big money.

I'm curious, are you talking about batteries or ev in general?

[-] ThoGot@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Both. I imagine EVs with an Apple-like repair policy would be a nightmare

Would? You can buy a Tesla today

The 44.1% battery failure figure is regarding the "starter" battery (12V) and is combined from all vehicles in the study (EV and ICE).

The HV Battery for the traction drive is grouped together with any kind of motor failure and comes in at 22.8 %. But this figure also includes ICE vehicles ejecting piston rods etc.

The only EV vs ICE numbers stated directly are the total breakdowns per 1000 vehicles at 1.9 (EV) and 3.6 (ICE).

I'd be really interested in a chart showing the failure categories separated by EV and ICE.

It's in there. Right under
