.PNG "Shocking study: Electric cars are less reliable than mechanical cars A new study said that electric cars suffer from many shortcomings as a result of their complex software; In a report published by the French newspaper Le Point, writer Jacques Chevallier said that it is widely known that the electric motor - which contains very few moving parts - is more reliable than the mechanical one, indicating that this may be true. But what interests the consumer is the whole car and its various malfunctions. The writer notes that according to a study conducted by the English consumer magazine \"Which\", which polled about 48 thousand car owners about their reliability, the rate of breakdowns in the previous 12 months included 31.4% of electric cars. The author adds that according to the same criteria, the study reported malfunctions of 29% of diesel models and 19% of gasoline only, pointing out that there are clearly important variables by brand and model in each category, but the trend of electric cars will still exist. The writer mentions that electric cars seem simple in theory, but they are complex due to the huge amount of electronic devices and their advanced software, and for this reason some new after-sales services have been developed; As IT experts are needed to handle failures as they occur. According to the author, it should be noted that many people know that when a smartphone or computer is difficult to repair, it becomes a piece of scrap, and this is one of the resentful things related to the fragility of these cars. Double punishment The author shows that electric car owners face a double punishment when their vehicles break down. Because they will have to be without a car for at least 5 days before the car is repaired. As for the frequent malfunctions of electric cars, the software malfunction takes the lead, then the 12-volt battery, and finally the electric braking system. The author points out that it is clear that this new technology still requires some modifications, despite the global spotlight that has been placed on it as a global solution. The writer confirms that the model least affected by malfunctions is the Korean \"Kia E Niro\", with 6.2% of defects and 1% of fixed faults, and unlike electric cars, hybrid cars equipped with two drive systems that work in rotation or in tandem are ranked among the best cars in the world.
