EV experience so far

Sorry, I intended the impersonal or generic form of "you".  A weakness of the English language is the ambiguity of some of our pronouns. Of course you, personally, can hold any opinion you want to. 

I bet the leather thongs or whatever stone age man used to attach their axe heads to the handles  weren't that reliable. Gotta be ready to duck those flying axe heads or risk a broken noggin...

Well, actually I can because it's my opinion  and I can say it all day long. Now whether anyone wants to hear it is another story.

Frankly, I find the analysis-paralysis that goes into the researching reliability to be time mostly wasted. I have owned vehicles and equipment that are supposedly "reliable" only to have those them fail spectacularly. I have also owned items that are supposed to be unreliable and have had them out perform expectations and estimated life expectancy. I may glance through reviews and evaluations but ultimately that data does not carry much weight in my final decision.

If we all sought total reliability, we would still be swinging stone axes.

That being said, and being this is an Rpod/travel trailer site, until manufacturers come up with a cost effect way for all electric technology to be used in a TV with a suitable range, there will always be an ICE on a TV whether it is a hybrid or not. Sure, in time there will be an all electric TV option, but for most of us, time is not on our side. We purchased our current rig with the understanding that it will be our last given our current age. 

Of course, when it comes time for you to buy your next vehicle you're free to get anything you want.

But before you decide that shouldn't be electric, consider that practically all the vehicle manufacturers are on board with the conversion to evs. They wouldn't do that if they didn't see a profit in it. These are huge companies with lots of clout to drive and keep their battery and other costs down. You and I have no equivalent leverage over fuel prices. We go to the pump and pay what its set at, or we don't drive. So I don't think we need to worry much about what Ford, Tesla, GM, VW, Toyota etc are paying for their batteries. They will be sure to get the good deals.  In many cases because the are partnered with the battery manufacturers. 

My Bolt, batteries and all, already cost me about the same as an equivalent ICE vehicle (thanks GM for not gouging your customers like Tesla has been up till now). And we're only at the beginning. Li battery cost has dropped like a stone over the past few years and continues to go down. The rest of an EV drivetrain is simpler and cheaper than a gasser's. So overall EVs will soon be cheaper to buy and offer better performance and reliability than ICE vehicles. Tesla just had to drop their prices dramatically, they are no longer the only game in town.

Then there are the much lower energy costs. I'm paying about 4 cents a mile in my Bolt, half what my (very efficient) Prius cost me.  So, buy an ev because its cheaper,more fun to drive,  and you get a better ownership experience, let the car manufacturer worry about battery sourcing. 

Or by all means don't buy one and stick with a gasser because it meets your needs better (like towing range) for now. No one is forcing you to go electric.
