Electric cars have fewer moving parts, so they should be more reliable, right? Volkswagen apparently thinks so…<\/p>\n

Volkswagen has made a bold statement, claiming that electric vehicles are \u201cmuch more reliable\u201d than traditional petrol and diesel cars. This comment, made by VW\u2019s sales boss Martin Sander, stirred up quite the debate in the automotive world. He believes EV reliability could be a powerful selling point to get hesitant customers to make the switch. But while Volkswagen is optimistic about its electric future, recent data suggests things might not be as rosy as Sander paints them.<\/p>\n

Sander\u2019s confidence comes at a time when VW\u2019s electric models are gaining traction. In Europe, the ID.7 sedan and wagon are already outpacing the Passat in orders. Looking ahead to 2025, Volkswagen expects EVs to account for up to 25% of its sales across the continent. With that kind of growth in mind, VW<\/a> is pushing hard to expand its electric lineup, including introducing affordable models like the upcoming ID.2, which is expected to cost less than \u20ac25,000 ($25,700).<\/p>\n

However, not everyone is buying the idea that EVs are more reliable than gas cars. A recent Consumer Reports study in the U.S. shows that EV owners<\/a> reported 42% more issues than those with petrol or diesel vehicles. While that figure might sound high, it\u2019s actually an improvement from 2023, when EVs had a whopping 79% more problems. The study was based on feedback from around 300,000 car owners and highlighted common issues with EV powertrains, in-car electronics, and accessories.<\/p>\n

\"Volkswagen<\/p>\n

To make matters worse for Volkswagen, its own ID.4<\/a> electric SUV landed on Consumer Reports\u2019 list of least reliable EVs, along with Ford\u2019s F-150 Lightning. Meanwhile, the BMW i4 was praised as the most reliable electric car<\/a>. Adding to the reliability concerns, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) didn\u2019t fare well either, with owners reporting 70% more issues compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles. Despite that, models like the plug-in versions of the Toyota<\/a> RAV4, Corolla, and Prius stood out as exceptions, being ranked among the most dependable cars overall.<\/p>\n

VW\u2019s electric push isn\u2019t slowing down, though. The company has big plans for 2025, including the launch of the ID.2, which Sander has already dubbed a \u201cgame changer\u201d for the affordable EV market. There\u2019s also talk of an even cheaper model, the ID.1<\/a>, which could hit the market by the end of the decade. In Australia, VW fans can soon expect to see the ID.4 and ID.5<\/a> electric SUVs arriving, alongside the ID. Buzz<\/a> electric vans, with a sporty GTX version set to follow later in the year.<\/p>\n

While Volkswagen continues to bet big on electric vehicles, questions remain about whether the company\u2019s reliability claims will hold up. Sure, EVs have fewer moving parts than gas cars, theoretically making them less prone to mechanical failures. But as the data shows, early adopters are still dealing with plenty of issues, especially when it comes to electronics. Whether VW can overcome these growing pains and truly deliver on its promise of reliable EVs remains to be seen. For now, the race is on, and VW is clearly all-in on electrification.<\/p>\n
