What that means in practice
What it really costs over five years
11,000 km a year, electricity at 0.16 €/kWh and fuel at 1.55 €/L — national averages for this country, which vary a great deal by region. Insurance and depreciation excluded.

This is not a breakdown rate. No reliability statistics exist for cars sold for this short a time, and we will not invent a score. This index adds up five verifiable facts that decide what happens to you if a fault occurs: how long the model has been sold here, what its battery is made of, what the manufacturer guarantees, where you could get it repaired, and whether an independent body has crash-tested it. The lower the total, the less exposed you are.
No local service history: no parts on shelves, no trained technicians, and no evidence of how the car behaves in this climate.
Lithium iron phosphate survives more cycles, tolerates charging to 100 % and enters thermal runaway at a far higher temperature than NMC. It does lose more range in deep cold.
Warranty length is the only number a manufacturer publishes about its own confidence. It is also what protects you when something goes wrong.
We have not documented this brand's service network in this country, so we assume the worst case rather than flatter it.
No independent body has crash-tested this car. That is missing information, not proof of danger.
