The maintenance cost of electric vehicles is relatively high, with an average maintenance cost exceeding that of internal combustion engine vehicles by 29%. This is because electric vehicles require more mechanical labor hours, with each task requiring 3.04 hours, while internal combustion locomotives require an average of 1.66 hours. In addition, 89.29% of the damaged parts are original components, rather than internal combustion engine vehicles benefiting from various recycled and repaired parts.
The Tesla Model 3 ranks first among the cars with the highest number of repairable claims in the United States, with a claim rate of 32.55%. Next is its crossover brother Tesla Model Y, with a claim rate of 25.58%. The third ranked is the Ford Mustang Mach-E, with a repairable odds of 7.72%. However, among the higher priced and declining sales models, Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X also rank in the top five.
The main reason for this difference is that electric vehicles require more original components to ensure their performance and safety. Nevertheless, insurance analysis companies believe that this issue will gradually improve. With the development of the electric vehicle market, more manufacturers will begin to provide more components and reduce maintenance costs.
In addition, it is expected that the maintenance costs of electric vehicles will further decrease in the coming years. This is because the development of battery technology and charging facilities will make electric vehicles more reliable and reduce the amount of maintenance required. Therefore, despite the current high maintenance costs, this issue will be resolved over time.
