Electric, plug-in and hybrid car recalls

Electric cars fail differently. This page pulls every electric, plug-in and hybrid (high-voltage) recall out of the registers we read, counts what goes wrong (batteries, charging, software) and shows which brands recall most. It updates itself every six hours.

3. Volkswagen — 8
4. Ford — 8
5. Tesla — 8

A vehicle is placed in this list by its make and model names and the register's own words, which is a reading aid, not a category any authority publishes.
