Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly gaining traction in the global market, but a new report from Thatcham Research warns that their repairability is lagging behind that of their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. The UK-based research organization is calling for the EV industry to prioritize repairability, citing concerns that the lack of standardized parts and specialized tools is making it increasingly difficult and expensive for consumers to maintain and repair their electric vehicles. As the demand for EVs continues to grow, Thatcham Research argues that manufacturers must take steps to ensure that their vehicles are designed with repairability in mind, just like traditional ICE vehicles. By doing so, the industry can reduce waste, lower costs, and promote sustainability.
EVs should be as repairable as ICE, Thatcham Research says WardsAuto
