Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids underperformed in Consumer Reports' Annual Auto Reliability Survey, with EVs accounting for 79% more problems than gas vehicles. The Ford Mustang Mach-E was the only EV to score average for reliability, while traditional hybrids like the Toyota Prius outperformed. Electric pickup trucks were the worst-rated category, and mass-producing EVs posed challenges for newcomers while benefiting legacy brands.
