[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking of getting one, but DH keeps saying that it can have double the issues because it has both power trains.  IDK, but I still like the idea of one.[/quote]

He is right. They don’t have double the issues, but they do have 70% more issues vs traditional hybrid or gas-only vehicles: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/electric-vehicles-are-less-reliable-than-conventional-cars-a1047214174/#:~:text=Plug%2DIn%20Hybrids%20Have%20Fewer%20Problems%20Than%20Before,than%20both%20standard%20hybrid%20and%20gas%2Donly%20vehicles.

Part of this is because the technology is newer. Reliability of PHEVs will improve a fair bit over the next 5 years.[/quote]

This. I am the PP with a Volvo - I leased bc I don’t think it’s reliable enough to buy and I negotiated a good deal. Hoping when the lease is up there will be more interesting fully electric. I don’t known that it makes a ton of sense to purchase any electric vehicle at the moment - they depreciate quite a bit and the tech changes so fast. But they are awesome![/quote]
