EVs have 79% more reliability problems than gas cars, says Consumer Reports
Teething problems abound with new electric powertrains.

Two of the larger EV companies are new and I think both have quality control issues. I suspect that is probably the bulk of the gap. Im willing to bet that Hyundai Ioniq 5 has far fewer reliability problems than a Rivian.
Also, every Chevy Bolt ever built had a recall a couple years ago. That dragged that car's reliability score through the mud and wouldn't surprise me if it had an impact here too.
Hyundai as a whole probably have less issues than most. That 7 year warranty is something they don't want to be back at the shop for.

I guess once you boil it down to brass tax the extra 4 year warranty only costs around 1,500. That's to us so the cost to manufacturers is tiny.
