Sure they have...even back into the 1800's EVs were more reliable...probably even more so compared to the ICE of the day.
Now that's funny! You're able to comment on the reliability of an electric car from over 100 years ago compared to the reliability of an ICE car from over 100 years ago?
Yes, the technology is pretty well understood. The ICE back then needed regular maintenance and tune ups. They had to be rebuilt every few thousand miles. The advantage was in range (ie: energy storage).
Electric motors were very reliable. My Dad has a bench grinder hooked up to a 1920's electric motor that ran perfectly in the 1980s.
