Tesla Is One Of The Least Reliable Used Car Brands: Consumer Reports

While many automakers have been aggressively developing all-electric vehicle models, Toyota has been taking it slow. Despite being the pioneer of the model first synonymous with hybrid-electrics – the Prius – Toyota has barely dipped a toe in the EV market, releasing just one model in North America, the bZ4X.

The internet is filled with discussions about how tipping culture in the U.S. has gone out of hand.

More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
