Good that the car companies are trying new technology and taking risks
[quote]Earlier this month, Nissan revealed it needed to reprogramme the software that controls its Leaf vehicles' brakes. Days later, Renault said it needed to check and replace faulty brake hoses on its Zoe cars. The problems appear to be unrelated. But one expert suggested that the fact that the technology involved in electric cars was both new and complex made the announcements unsurprising.[/quote] So, to paraphrase; Two cars experienced non-electrical related issues, must mean electrical cars are more prone to issues.
