GB News guests debate using electric cars in 2022<\/h3>\n

Electric cars are suffering from a similar level of failures to older petrol and diesel cars, according to a motoring expert.<\/p>\n

Duncan McClure Fisher, CEO of Motoreasy backed Intelligent Motoring\u00a0said there was a \u201cperception\u201d that electric cars were less likely to fail.<\/p>\n

However, he put the record straight as he admitted there was now an \u201cequivalent mix\u201d of issues between all three fuel types.<\/p>\n

It had been believed that fewer moving parts in an electric car might make them more reliable, making this another blow to EV owners who have made the transition.<\/p>\n

According to Motoreasy, warranty claims for electric vehicles have skyrocketed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They have revealed that the average claim across the MG EV range in 2021 was just \u00a3490.<\/p>\n

However, this has dramatically risen by 390 percent with the average payout now a staggering \u00a32,200.<\/p>\n

Mr McClure Fisher explained: \u201cWhile there remains a perception that EVs have fewer moving parts and less can go wrong with them, in reality, we’re seeing an equivalent mix of failures to petrol and diesel vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the drivetrain components being obviously very different, the suspension and braking components are often very similar, and are put under greater strain due to the increased weight of EVs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis creates a similar breadth of failures for EVs versus ICE vehicles, though a slight swing from drivetrain issues to suspension and braking issues can be observed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, electric car experts at GRIDSERVE revealed that EVs were more likely to pass an MOT test than petrol and diesel vehicles.<\/p>\n

Analysing GOV.UK data, the group revealed that EVs had an MOT pass rate of 86.9 percent, much higher than internal combustion models.<\/p>\n

On average, diesel vehicles had a pass rate of 82.4 percent with petrol cars even lower at 81.3 percent.<\/p>\n

The group claimed that maintenance costs can be \u201cconsiderably lower\u201d due to fewer moving parts and reduced wear and tear.<\/p>\n

The DVSA accepted that electric cars did have a higher pass rate than combustion models but warned the data was not as clear-cut as first thought.<\/p>\n

A DVSA spokesperson told Express.co.uk: \u201cCaution needs to be taken when analysing MOT data.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen looked at across the board (using our publicly accessible data) the EV pass rate does look higher than petrol and diesel cars. However, if you look across more modern vehicles and compare by age that is not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to keep vehicles of all powertrains roadworthy all year, not just for the annual MOT.\u201d<\/p>\n
