With how often I read about Teslas falling apart, I kinda wonder if most of the breakdowns are just from those pieces of shit.
If the article says, lemme know. I can’t read German.
The logical follow on from this is that EV owners should have cheaper car insurance. With far fewer moving parts they will also have much cheaper maintenance costs. Added to that EVs are cheaper to buy. China has reached the point where 50% of new car sales are EVs much quicker than anyone expected. Most people thought that was years away, but we’re already there. How soon before people start talking about a “death spiral” when it comes to gasoline cars?
Relevant Data
Per 1,000 vehicles of 3 year old cars
ICE 6.4
BEV 2.8
The ADAC even noted a growing lead for electric cars in recent years. The analysis was based on the more than 3.5 million call-outs made by ADAC breakdown services last year
Insurance has nothing to do with maintenance.
EVs are cheaper to buy.
I don’t undestand this. My ICE car cost 10k euros in France. Most EVs have a price around 40k. How is it cheaper?
It’s not, it’s a made up propaganda from a heavily subsidized Chinese industry.
The OP is correlating insurance to maintenance costs. That should tell you everything you need to know about the reliability of their statements.
