Consumer Reports<\/em> recently published its updated reliability report pertaining to the most unreliable electric vehicles on the market today. As has been the case in the past, the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X are both on the top 10 list.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hyundai Kona Electric<\/a> actually got the nod as the least reliable, according to the publication. Just behind the Hyundai<\/a> electric crossover is the very similar Chevrolet Bolt EUV<\/a>, followed by the Bolt EV<\/a> hatchback.<\/p>\n

According to Drive Tesla Canada<\/em>, Consumer Reports issued the Tesla Model S<\/a> an overall score of 62 out of 100, and a two out of five for predicted reliability, which it considers less reliable than the average new car.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Tesla Model X<\/a> fared even worse overall, with a score of just 52, though its reliability rating is the same as its sedan sibling. To be clear, every EV on the list earned a two out of five for predicted reliability, aside from the Bolt EV, which earned the lowest possible rating of one out of five.<\/p>\n

The publication points to Model S owners’ concerns with interior electronics, transmission, and power equipment. Moreover, Consumer Reports cites the multiple Model S recalls that have happened over the years.<\/p>\n

Many of the recalls were addressed with free over-the-air software updates. While this makes it more convenient for the owners, it doesn’t suggest there wasn’t an actual problem in the first place. The Model X has faced most of the same issues as the Model S, though it’s also had its fair share of additional concerns over the years.<\/p>\n

Looking at the other end of the list, we find the Rivian R1T<\/a> electric pickup truck in the 10 spot, with the Audi e-tron<\/a> coming in at No. 9, just ahead of the Model S, which places in the eighth position.<\/p>\n

Also included in Consumer Reports’ most current list of the least reliable EVs are the Polestar 2<\/a>, Jaguar I-Pace<\/a>, and Porsche Taycan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Drive Tesla Canada also shared that Consumer Reports hasn’t yet tested\u00a0the BMW i7, Fisker Ocean, Hyundai Ioniq 6, or Lucid Air, so they aren’t included in the reliability rankings yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
