  1. in the currently evaluated year 2023 the battery accounts for 44.1 percent of breakdowns

  2. 3-10 year old combustion cars vs electric cars only having enough registered models to start observing their reliability in 2021

For context they seem to be specifically referencing the 12V "starter" battery not the HV battery used for the traction drive in EVs with that 44.1% figure. Additionally this figure seems to include all vehicles in the statistic, so some part of that is contributed by ICE vehicles.

Every single time my ICE car broke down, it was the 12V battery.
