They're all pretty reliable, really, without a mechanical engine to go wrong. The last-generation Nissan Leaf ranked very highly in our 2018 Satisfaction Index (www.honestjohn.co.uk/honest-john-satisfaction-inde...#).
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Impressive real-world range from the Leaf E+. Fairly spacious cabin. Should be reliable. Decent value for money.
