Anyone can make that claim, but reliability comes with real world scenarios, and not some hypothetical numbers. How many EVs do you see on the market with 200k+ miles? Vs how many ICE cars hitting this mark?

EVs will get there, but they're not to this point yet

I absolutely get what you mean. It's just that there aren't many components in an EV that can fail. If they do fail however, it's no doubt going to be expensive. I'm looking positively into the future though.

There is still a decent amount, it's just as you said, if it breaks...it gets really expensive quick.
