    A random company in Norway is probably the best equipped to do this kinda testing.

    Cold? Check. ICEs on the road? Check. A buunch of electric vehicles on the road? Check.

      From the article:

      this data doesn’t adjust for the age of the vehicles. Older gas-powered cars fail at a higher rate than the new ones and electric vehicles are obviously much more recent on average.

      Their data and the article’s title are highly misleading. No shit a year old tesla is going to be more reliable than a 20 year old toyota corolla. You need to compare cars of a similar age, before you can come to a firm conclusion.
