>my GE Amana dishwasher, it started having weird power issues, like the controls would just not light up unless I reset the circuit breaker for a few minutes

And they say EVs will outlast regular cars. On every piece of my home equipment, electronics failed before they developed mechanical issues.

Power electronics, especially capacitors, and high power switching elements don't have a great track record of reliability.

Regular/ICE cars are fully dependant on electronics too. When a board fails, the car stops working. There's really no difference.

True, but you can't really compare 12v low voltage ECUs/infotainment with 400/800V DC contactors and tons of high power/voltage caps/FETs in inverters
