Electric vehicle adoption is forcing fleet managers and insurers to confront a critical gap: specialized repair infrastructure remains underdeveloped compared to traditional combustion-engine vehicles. With EV components like high-voltage batteries and advanced electronics requiring unique expertise, breakdowns or accidents could lead to longer downtimes and higher costs if proper service networks aren’t in place. Industry experts warn that without urgent investment in training and repair facilities, fleets may face operational disruptions and rising insurance premiums. The shift to electric is exposing a hidden vulnerability in the transition’s logistics.
