A new analysis reveals that electric vehicles (EVs) with high mileage are holding up better than their gasoline-powered counterparts in U.K. reliability inspections. Despite concerns about battery degradation over time, the data shows that well-maintained EVs continue to meet or exceed standards even after extensive use. The findings challenge common assumptions about long-term durability in electric vehicles, suggesting they may offer greater reliability in real-world conditions. Experts are now examining whether these results could shift perceptions around EV longevity and maintenance costs.
