The cost gap between repairing electric vehicles (EVs) and traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in Canada has shrunk to its smallest margin ever, according to new industry data. While EV repairs historically required specialized labor and higher expenses, recent trends suggest growing parity as mechanics adapt to electric drivetrains and battery systems. The findings reflect broader industry shifts as EV adoption accelerates, though challenges like battery replacement costs and technician training remain. Experts note that while affordability is improving, long-term repair economics for EVs still depend on evolving technology and supply chain stability.
