Electric vehicles are among the least reliable cars and trucks in the automotive industry today, according to Consumer Reports rankings released Tuesday.
Since electric car buyers tend to be tech-loving early adopters, automakers also pack the models with a host of other features that could also lead to issues. Electric models comprised a bigger portion in the rankings than ever before. State and federal incentives, and new environmental regulations have encouraged greater adoption of fully electric cars in and outside the U.S., in large part to try to reduce air pollution from transportation.
Fully-electric vehicles, many of which were first released in recent years, comprised a bigger segment of the list this year than ever before, but still only represent a small segment in the market.Unlike all-electric vehicles, hybrid cars and trucks were among the most reliable in the study. That's largely because many hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, have been on the market for years, so automakers have been able to work the problems out of them.
