German automotive supplier ZF is pushing for a shift in electric vehicle maintenance by advocating for the repair of drive units instead of outright replacements. The company highlights that many EV drive units can be serviced and restored to near-new condition, offering a more cost-effective and sustainable alternative to discarding them. With the growing demand for electric vehicles, this approach could extend the lifespan of critical components and reduce electronic waste. The proposal aligns with broader industry trends toward circular economy practices in automotive manufacturing.
