If you’re thinking of switching to electric, you probably expect fewer breakdowns and lower running costs compared to petrol or diesel cars. And while that can be true, new research from Warranty Solutions Group shows there’s more to the story – especially when it comes to repair costs.
Our latest research has revealed that, on average, warranty claims for electric vehicles (EVs) are 30-50% higher than for comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
WSG’s analysis of 800 electric car warranty claims paid between August 2023 and August 2024, highlights that the most common issues are with battery charge control modules, which cost an average of £1,311 to repair, power distribution boxes (£747), warning lights (£875), and shock absorbers (£588).
