A study finds high-mileage electric vehicles are more reliable than petrol vehicles.
According to The Guardian Business, a study analyzing 47.4 million MOT tests indicates that electric vehicles are more reliable than petrol cars at high mileage. The data shows that EVs with 90,000 to 120,000 miles are approximately 25% less likely to fail inspections than petrol models of the same age.
