Electric Cars: Cheap to Drive, Expensive to Crash

Original: The 1.7x Repair Bill: Why Electric Cars Are Cheap to Drive and Expensive to Crash

A new analysis argues that electric vehicles cost far less to run than petrol cars but can cost around 1.7 times more to repair after a collision. The higher repair bills are attributed to expensive battery packs, sensor-laden bodywork and specialist labour, which also drive up insurance premiums for EV owners despite lower day-to-day running costs.

Why now: Rising EV insurance premiums and repair costs are a growing concern as electric car adoption accelerates.
