A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000.::The repairs cost over half the starting price for the Rivian EV. The owner said he'd expected it wouldn't be cheap, but it was a "shocking number."

Or, in short: dude likes Honda, Honda makes EVs, get one of those 😁

Are they on par in terms of quality, price, and reliability as their traditional vehicles now? I'd been under the impression that they were still really expensive both to buy and to repair. I guess I haven't really researched it lately though.

As far as I understand (I’m in the market myself) the traditional makers have essentially caught up. You can expect the same build quality as other cars by the same makers.

(I’m specifically looking at Renault, Volvo and Mercedes, haven’t tried others)
