The article says they took any issues that users/owners had with the vehicle, but then ranked them and converted them into a percentage.

It started off saying interesting stuff like how they identified an EV has 12 points of issues and ICE has 17... but then when they blended the numbers into a percentage based (likely) on an arbitrary measure, then that analysis didn't seem as useful. Ranking and splitting issues by safety + continued drivability vs minor annoyances would have been a lot more useful than what they ended up with.
