Automotive research firm J.D. Power’s highly watched initial quality study is out — and it appears EVs are giving consumers big headaches.
Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley has confessed: He loves electric vehicles. “I spent the past 40 years developing new vehicles, from Camrys and Scions at Toyota to F-150 Raptors, Broncos, and Transits here at Ford Motor Company,” wrote the CEO. EVs are fast and responsive—faster and more responsive than equivalent gasoline-powered cars—and batteries enable some interesting benefits.
Ram was the top brand in 2024 initial quality rankings. Chevy was two and Ford was nine. Tesla was near the bottom again.
