A UK study analyzing 47.4 million vehicle inspections found that electric vehicles (EVs) with high mileage are more durable and less likely to fail safety inspections than comparable gasoline cars, especially after 90,000 miles. The study highlights the mechanical simplicity of EVs as a durability advantage but notes higher tire wear and brake issues related to specific EV characteristics.
