The whole point of the article is basically:

> EVs are still in their relative infancy as mainstream vehicles, so it’s really not surprising that manufacturers, by and large, are still working out the kinks. That said, we are seeing signs of movement in the right direction.

The teething problems we are seeing with EVs are because they are new, not because they are EVs

There are some manufacturers that have historically always had lousy electrical systems in their cars. Making an entire car out of electrical systems is inviting trouble. Looking specifically at you, VAG.

I don't think we have a long enough timeline of data to make that declaration yet. The problems could be intrinsic to the complexity of an EV system.
