Toyota leads the pack in durability, with a 17.8% chance of reaching 250,000 miles, followed closely by Honda and Acura.
This is not surprising, given that Toyota and Lexus have been known for their build quality and reliability over the years.
The study's findings suggest that Japanese brands are well-positioned to dominate the durability rankings, with Toyota taking the top spot.
However, Tesla's impressive sixth-place ranking may be a surprise to some buyers who were concerned about EV battery life.
Despite concerns about battery degradation, modern EVs eliminate many components that traditionally wear out in gasoline-powered cars, such as engine oil changes and timing chains.
Tesla's score of 4.6% is still lower than the overall industry average of 4.8%, but it's a significant improvement over some other luxury brands.
The results also show that luxury brands are not immune to durability issues, with Cadillac and Lincoln struggling to beat the luxury average.
In contrast, non-luxury brands like Honda and Acura perform much better, with scores more than three times the segment average.
Overall, the study's findings highlight the importance of considering durability when choosing a vehicle, regardless of whether it's an electric or gasoline-powered model.
The results suggest that EVs may have an easier path to extreme mileage than many people assume due to reduced moving parts and eliminated components.
