More than half of UK drivers are concerned about the safety of electric vehicle battery repairs after a crash, according to research by the AA. The motoring organisation’s Accident Assist service said 52 percent of the 13,500 drivers questioned thought the safe repair and any potential replacement of the battery was a worry.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, however, the study revealed that almost two-thirds of respondents were most concerned about the cost of repairs for an electric vehicle. Some 62 percent said they would be most worried about the price of repairing a battery-powered vehicle after it had been in an accident.
