EVs take longer and cost more to repair than petrol cars

EVs are proving to be more costly and time-consuming to repair than traditional petrol cars, with costs 19% higher and repair times 9% longer, largely due to the complexity of their electronic systems. This trend is significant as it could influence consumer choices and the overall market dynamics for electric vehicles. As EV adoption grows, understanding these repair challenges becomes crucial for manufacturers, consumers, and policymakers to ensure sustainable growth and address potential barriers to wider acceptance.
