A 5HP B&S in a junior dragster won’t leave you stranded like that 115k GM EV did.The drivetrain in an ICE vehicle contains 2,000+ moving parts typically, whereas the drivetrain in an EV contains around 20. A TESLA actualy has 17 moving parts.

I think by complexity he meant electronic nannies and the total reliance on software programming. Anybody who’s ever written code for extremely complex applications will tell you that the code may appear flawless in lab testing, only to have it fail as soon as it’s “in the wild”. Not the kind of chance I want to take on today’s highways!!
