What are the most common faults in electric vehicles?
Electric vehicles are very popular these days due to rising gasoline prices and rising emissions.
There are electric vehicle models at various prices in the market, which offers alternatives to customers.
Although these vehicles are advantageous in various aspects, there are various malfunctions seen in these vehicles as well.
Studies show that electric vehicles are as safe as other vehicles, but these vehicles also have various safety problems and problems arising from the manufacturer.
According to another study, electric SUVs show us that they are the least safe vehicles on the road.
But let's not forget that this varies from user to user and model to model. Yet another study shows that electric vehicles fail more frequently than vehicles with internal combustion engines in 2019 and above.
According to the research, the malfunctions are as follows;
- Malfunctions in in-vehicle electronics
- Faults in the air conditioning system
- Noise and leaks
- Faults in the vehicle's drive system
- Power equipment in the vehicle
- Troubles in the vehicle body
- Problems in vehicle paint and accessories
The following faults can be seen rarely;
- Battery fires
- Faults in the navigation system.
Electric vehicle users have experienced problems with in-vehicle electronics, lights, temperature sensors, incompatible paints and weather conditions.
These problems occur more intensely in electric vehicles.
Another study shows us that the injury rate in accidents with electric vehicles is 40 percent less than in other vehicles. In other words, these failures do not indicate that electric vehicles are unsafe.
Electric vehicles are newly designed and produced, and these problems are still being determined and solved by the manufacturers.
In short, the above malfunctions are frequently seen in electric vehicles. However, this does not mean that these failures make these vehicles less safe.
The main reason for these failures is the new development of electric vehicles. As electric vehicles evolve day by day, you can be sure that these breakdowns will occur less frequently.
