Combining EV and plugin hybrids together is quite strong indicator that this study has agenda attached.

Plugin hybrids were the most unreliable. Tech wise all hybrids are more closer to gas powered than EV's. Of course plugin hybrids are more unreliable, you have two engines, so you get issues from both.

Except they didn’t? Plug ins, EVs regular hybrids, and ICEs were all different categoriesc at least in the actual press release on the study.

While i do have issues with the studys breakdown c I don’t think paint chips and mismatched paint should be classed under reliability issues, but the they were upfront about all of it.
