Is it more expensive to repair an EV than a petrol car?

Asked by Customer on 19 May 2026
I often hear that EVs are more expensive to repair. Is that true, and what drives the cost up compared to a regular petrol car?

The repair cost depends primarily on the extent of the damage, not on the drivetrain. EVs may require extra work such as sensor calibration (ADAS) or careful handling near the battery pack, but the paint and body work itself is priced the same as for other cars. We always provide a written assessment before work begins so you know what is included.
