but here is something I will predict,
photographs Thatcham Research, that is the cost of EV car insurance will go up far exceeding the rate of inflation, here are a couple of facts, comparisons with petrol and diesel cars found that electric
vehicle (EV) claims are 25.5 per cent more expensive - and the damage takes 14
per cent longer to repair, if it can be fixed at all, and there is the rub, Thatcham
Research's findings echo another investigation into EV write-offs conducted
earlier this year by news agency Reuters, it found that electric cars are being
written-off for having the slightest damage to battery packs following
accidents because there is no way of repairing them,
and
replacing batteries, if it can be done are expensive, for a premium electric
car, for instance, the cost of a new battery is around £29,500, Thatcham
Research says. This is more than the price of a new petrol Volkswagen T-Roc
SUV, and for 'budget-friendly' electric models, it estimates the average cost
of battery replacement to be £14,200 - that's more than a Dacia Sandero,
Britain's cheapest car, the report warns of scratched and mildly damaged battery
packs 'piling up in scrapyards in some countries', and experts claimed
batteries in expensive Tesla Y SUVs have 'zero reparability' because they are a
structural part of the car, I keep being told that the batteries in EV cars are
safe, even after an accident, so please explain this: Another headache faced by
the vehicle repair sector is centred around the legality of storing damaged
EVs safely, government guidelines state that due to fire risk, electric cars
awaiting repair should be stored in an outside quarantine area and at a safe
distance of 15 meters from other nearby objects, as such, an outside storage
space with capacity for 100 combustion-engine vehicles would allow for the safe
quarantine of just two EVs, representing a potential 98 per cent reduction in
repair capacity, I am so glad I never fell for the child abusing EV nonsense! For the
full report have a look here.
