Electric Vehicles advanced tech more problematic than ICE vehicles finds JD Power

Electric Vehicles advanced tech more problematic than ICE vehicles finds JD Power. Genesis Ranks Highest Overall for Tech Innovation for Third Consecutive Year; Hyundai Ranks Highest among Mass Market Brands for Fourth Consecutive Year. TROY, Mich, Aug 24, 2023 - Battery-electric vehicle (BEV) owners experience more problems with advanced technology than do owners of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, according to the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study,SM released today. The study focuses on the user experience with advanced vehicle technology as it first comes to market and is an early measure of problems encountered by vehicle owners. Seventeen of the 21 advanced features offered on both fuel versions have more quality problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) for BEVs (excluding Tesla) than for ICE vehicles. In addition, satisfaction is lower for BEVs across 86% of the advanced techs compared with those on ICE vehicles. Features such as remote parking assistance (27.4 PP100 among BEVs vs. 10.7 PP100 among ICE vehicles) and interior gesture controls (49.6 PP100 among BEVs vs. 31.2 PP100 among ICE vehicles) have some of the largest gaps between the two fuel versions. These study findings also are consistent across the J.D. Power 2023 Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) and 2023 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.SM The total vehicle problems in the IQS is 46% higher among BEVs (excluding Tesla) than ICE vehicles and satisfaction is lower among owners of BEVs across nine of 10 APEAL categories than among owners of ICE vehicles. “Innovation through a strong advanced tech strategy is crucial for all vehicle manufacturers, especially those working to build their reputation in the electric vehicle space,” said Kathleen Rizk, senior director of user experience benchmarking and technology at J.D. Power. “The perception in the industry is that most BEVs should offer many advanced technologies to compete with high-tech entrants like Tesla. Success will be dependent on those manufacturers that can execute flawlessly, while ensuring the user experience is the same for those who are tech savvy and those who are not.”

Following are key findings of the 2023 Electric Vehicles advanced tech study:

Warning bells—disruptors are coming: New manufacturers (e.g., Tesla, Rivian, Lucid and Polestar) are making a very strong debut in the U.S. market in terms of their advanced tech offerings. While some brands have small sample sizes and state registration restrictions prohibit ranking, most of the innovation of these newer brands far exceeds that of traditional manufacturers—except for Genesis—and significantly outpace the Innovation Index premium average (588 on a 1,000-point scale). Innovation and tech offerings are high for new manufacturers, but they are not providing a problem-free experience. Average problem levels for advanced technologies among new manufacturers, except for Polestar, are well above the premium average of 24.3 PP100 and are among the highest in the industry. Owners don't see eye-to-eye with biometrics: In terms of accuracy, biometrics that monitor behavioral characteristics (e.g., eye movement) are less problematic than those that monitor physiological characteristics (e.g., facial recognition) but are more annoying. Regardless of the biometric type, owners say they do not consider them to be useful (fingerprint reader rating of 7.24 (on a 10-point scale); facial recognition 7.48; and direct driver monitoring 7.75). Despite continued usage, biometric technologies have low desirability in terms of owners wanting them in their next vehicle compared with other advanced technologies. Owners charged up about plug and charge: The plug-and-charge technology is well liked by owners even though new tech in BEVs can often be problematic. After plugging into a public charger, the charger identifies the vehicle, validates the charge and starts the charging process. Payment and billing occur automatically upon completion of the charge. Nearly three-fourths (72%) of owners say they want the technology on their next vehicle. With just 6.0 PP100 and overall satisfaction of 8.89 (on a 10-point scale) across the industry, plug and charge is well executed across most manufacturers and vehicle owners say that it is a much-appreciated feature. Waning ADAS usage: Among owners who say they use specific technologies all the time, usage of many safety and advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) technologies have declined slightly year over year, most notably reverse automatic emergency braking (-4 percentage points); safe exit assist (-3); and automatic emergency steering (-3). While usage rates are still relatively high, small declines across several technologies is a worrying sign that reinforces the need for automakers to remain diligent on providing a positive customer experience so that trust and perceived feature usefulness are not negatively affected.

Highest-Ranking Brands

Genesis ranks highest overall and highest among premium brands for innovation, with a score of 656. In the premium segment, Cadillac (533) and Lexus (533) each rank second in a tie. Hyundai ranks highest among mass market brands for innovation with a score of 547. Kia (528) ranks second and GMC (505) ranks third.

Advanced Technology Award Recipients

The U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study analyzes 40 automotive technologies, which are divided into four categories: convenience; emerging automation; energy and sustainability; and infotainment and connectivity. Only the 30 technologies classified as advanced are award eligible. - Chevrolet Corvette is the premium model receiving the convenience award for ground view camera technology. Toyota Sequoia is the mass market model receiving the convenience award, also for ground view camera technology. - Genesis GV80 is the premium model receiving the emerging automation award for front cross traffic warning. Hyundai Palisade is the mass market model receiving the emerging automation award for reverse automatic emergency braking. - BMW iX receives the award for energy and sustainability in the premium segment for one pedal driving. MINI Cooper receives the award for energy and sustainability in the mass market segment, also for one pedal driving. - BMW 3 Series receives the award for infotainment and connectivity in the premium segment for augmented reality display. Chevrolet Tahoe (streaming-based entertainment) and Hyundai Sonata (phone-based digital key) each rank highest in a tie for infotainment and connectivity in the mass market segment. See the rank charts for each segment at http://www.jdpower.com/pr-id/2023103 The 2023 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study is based on responses from 82,472 owners of new 2023 model-year vehicles who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study was fielded from February through May 2023. The U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study complements the annual J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS) and the J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study by measuring how effectively each automotive brand brings new technologies to market. The U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study combines the level of adoption of new technologies for each brand with excellence in execution. The execution measurement examines how much owners like the technologies and how many problems they experience while using them.

"¡No creerás lo INCREÍBLE que es este Urbano Eléctrico! ¡El Coche con MÁS Personalidad que DEBES Comprar YA!" - ¡Hola a todos! Acabo de leer sobre el Mini Cooper eléctrico urbano y quería compartir mis pensamientos. ¿Sabéis que? Es un coche divertido. Sí. Pero, ¿se merece el rótulo "última maravilla del mundo automotriz"? Ah, venga... quizás no. Comenzaremos con su diseño. Nadie puede negar que es un MINI: compacto, atractivo y exterior atrevido. Es un excelente primer coche, ciudadano por excelencia. Pero si miramos más allá de su estructura, está claro que mantiene la esencia histórica del Mini Cooper que todos conocemos y amamos. ¿Es este hecho suficiente para justificar su precio de más de 33,000 euros? Digamos que ahí es donde yo, personalmente, comienzo a tener mis dudas. Entrando en su interior, encontraremos un puesto de conducción bien dispuesto. Los pasajeros delanteros tienen suficiente espacio y pueden viajar con comodidad. Los traseros...bueno, ya sabéis como es un Mini por dentro. ¡Vamos a dejarnos de cuentos! La habitabilidad trasera es casi testimonial. Y sí, hay que reconocer que el maletero es 'contundente' de pequeño (¡Hola tres maletines y adiós a la compra semanal!). Desde el punto de vista tecnológico, viene repleto de asistentes a la conducción y un completo sistema de navegación e infoentretenimiento, aunque a veces pueda resultar algo lioso de manejar. ¡Por Dios, no quiero hacer un crucigrama solo para cambiar la radio! Ahora, vamos a lo que realmente importa, la conducción. Al volante, se muestra ágil y divertido, y si, es cierto que está a la altura de un Mini térmico, pero, ¿una autonomía de 230 km? Eso no es ni siquiera suficiente para llegar de Madrid a Zaragoza. Eso, señores, no es el futuro, es el pasado. ¿Dónde está el progreso, MINI? Por otro lado, la recuperación de energía en frenadas y deceleraciones es muy evidente, pero puede resultar un tanto agresiva al inicio. Aunque, en fin, todo es acostumbrarse, claro. Mirad, no me malinterpretéis. Es un buen coche. Pero, para mi gusto, MINI ha jugado demasiado seguro con este modelo. No es atrevido, no es valiente, no es precursor. Es simplemente un MINI Cooper tradicional con un motor eléctrico. Y, hablando de electricidad, si vas a ser eléctrico, tienes que tener una autonomía que te haga realmente útil. Por último, vamos a hablar de la competitividad de este coche. Seguro, es más eficiente que un coche a gasolina, pero los coches eléctricos han estado en el mercado por un rato. ¿Qué hace que este Mini Cooper sea especial entre todos ellos, además de su apariencia estilizada y su marca de lujo? ¡Amantes de los coches! Súbanse a la conversación. ¿Piensan que este Mini Cooper eléctrico tiene un precio justo? ¿Crees que vale la pena pagarlo? ¿Estás dispuesto a limitarte a 230 km por carga, frente a los modelos eléctricos que prometen más? ¡Hablemos de coches! #carros #automóviles #AutoTrend ¿Estáis enfadados ya? ¡Perfecto! Como dice el refranero español, "No hay mejor salsa que el hambre y no hay libélula sin su lumbre". O algo así... Ahora sí me despido, ¡hasta la próxima! No olviden compartir sus pensamientos y mantenerse seguros en la carretera. ¡Nos vemos en el espejo retrovisor!

Podrás Comprar un Hyundai en Amazon en 2024. - ¡Toma eso, mundo 2.0! Ahora será posible comprar un Hyundai directamente en Amazon. ¿Quién necesita ir a un concesionario y regatear el precio cuando podrías hacerlo desde la comodidad de tu sofá, vistiendo pijama? ¡Ah, los placeres de la vida digital! Amazon agrega así otro producto al catálogo de su Mundo del Automóvil, lo que podría marcar un cambio importante en la forma en que compramos nuestros vehículos en el futuro. Que Amazon sea un referente para cualquier producto no es ninguna novedad, pero este movimiento demuestra que su influencia también se extiende al mundo automotriz. #CarLovers Significa muchos posibles beneficios para los compradores. Te permitirá configurar tu vehículo, programar una prueba de conducción e incluso solicitar una entrega a domicilio sin tener que lidiar con las negociaciones en el concesionario. Parece bastante práctico, ¿verdad? Pero aquí hay algo para reflexionar: un coche no es una compra impulsiva, como un nuevo par de zapatos o un televisor nuevo. La mayoría de la gente quiere sentarse al volante, comprobar las especificaciones técnicas, ver el espacio del maletero y tantas otras cosas que no puedes hacer a través de la red. Es decir, este nuevo movimiento podría ser más atractivo para los compradores conocedores de la tecnología que ya han investigado el vehículo, realizado una prueba de conducción y que están listos para hacer la compra, cortando así cualquier interacción innecesaria con el personal de ventas. En fin, ¿podría este ser el comienzo de una tendencia hacia mayores compras de automóviles en línea, y no sólo transferencias de propiedad y acciones de postventa? Quizás, aunque aún hay muchas preguntas sin respuesta. ¿Cómo se manejarán las cuestiones de garantía y servicio si compras el coche en línea? Amazon probablemente no vendrá a arreglar tu coche si se rompe. Y entonces, ¿qué pasa con la prueba de coches antes de comprarlos? Puede que no sea un problema para todos, pero seguro que hay gente a la que le gusta sentir el volante y oír el ruido del motor antes de soltar el dinero. Todavía falta mucho por discutir, pero parece que esta es la dirección en la que estamos yendo. Mientras que muchos todavía ven la compra de un coche como una experiencia que requiere una interacción cara a cara, puede que no tarde en llegar el día en que estemos comprando nuestros automóviles de la misma forma que compramos nuestras camisetas y nuestros electrodomésticos. Imagínate el día en que puedas decir: "Hace un calor infernal hoy, creo que voy a comprar un coche con aire acondicionado". Luego te recuestas, coges tu teléfono y, en unos pocos clics, tienes un elegante sedán o SUV en camino a tu puerta. Desde luego, suena muy futurista, ¿no? Pero, ¿es este el futuro que queremos? ¿Es este el futuro en el que queremos vivir? Sólo el tiempo dirá. Pero por ahora, un brindis por este nuevo avance. Seguro que producirá algunos cambios interesantes en nuestra industria automotriz. #AutoTrend
