Original: High-mileage electric cars are more reliable than petrol ones, study finds
A new study has found that electric cars with 90,000 to 120,000 miles on the clock are more likely to pass MOT tests than petrol models of the same age, challenging the assumption that EVs degrade faster. The Guardian reported the findings, and the story is being widely shared and debated online, with drivers and industry watchers weighing in on what it means for used EV values and the shift away from combustion engines.
Why now: New evidence directly contradicts a common scepticism about electric vehicle durability, prompting debate among drivers and the car industry.
