A poll found that just over one in 10 electric cars had broken down in the past two years -
Electric vehicles (EVs) are the most likely type of car to break down, a survey of tens of thousands of motorists has found.
A poll of just under 30,000 car owners found that 10.9 per cent had broken down in the past two years.
Of those who gave their car’s fuel type, about one in six (16.8 per cent) said the car they broke down in was an EV.
A “common misconception that electric vehicles break down less frequently than petrol and diesel vehicles”.
Mr Pfaudler said in April: “Currently, at least, that is not the case. The breakdown rate is, in fact, slightly higher for electric vehicles than for internal combustion-engine vehicles.”
