Automotive research firm J.D. Power’s highly watched initial quality study is out — and it appears EVs are giving consumers big headaches.

J.D. Power’s study tracks responses from nearly 100,000 purchasers and lessees of 2024 vehicles within the first 90 days of ownership, and for the first time in the study’s 38-year history, it incorporates repair visit data. Overall, internal combustion engine vehicles averaged 180 PP100 , while battery electric vehicles averaged a whopping 266 PP100, 86 points higher than ICE vehicles.

J.D. Power’s study reported no notable improvements in BEV quality this year, and that has to do with the biggest name in the EV space — Tesla .. Obstacles like lack of charging infrastructure, range anxiety, and elevated costs have hurt EV adoption.

Shares of Trump Media, the owner of social networking site Truth Social swung wildly Friday after the first U.S. presidential debate, with some investors believing it could become a bigger mouthpiece for the former president if he is re-elected.
