In traditional piston engined aircraft, the most unreliable component (and most likely cause of engine stoppage) , I would suspect by a considerable margin, is one component widely used in the fuel and engine management systems, the pilot.

I wonder if the same faulty component will be repurposed for use in future electric aircraft? If so I suspect it may also become the weak point in that technology as well.
