Are there any statistics out there that can make a comparison like this? I know there’s a comparison like this for vehicle fires and EVs came out way ahead

If these stats are hidden they shouldn’t be, all statistics should be able to be known

    It depends on the brand. A Toyota engine lasts longer than a Tesla battery without major repairs, but not necessarily longer than a BMW or VW battery.

      this is underrated comment. A lot of times I read something like bmw, Kia, non-Toyota has engine failure at 70kmiles . When comparing reliability to ICE/hybrid: Toyota should be the benchmark. Time will tell; but I think a Toyota Corolla, Hilux, etc… will outlast most EV .

      It would be lovely if you could back any of that up with data. Like seriously, even one of those claims.
