Contrary to widespread public apprehension, electric vehicles (EVs) are actually more likely to be successfully repaired at the roadside than their petrol or diesel counterparts. This is a surprising revelation from recent breakdown data gathered by the AA, challenging the common fear that EVs are more prone to roadside issues.
A joint survey by Autotrader and the AA in December, involving over 2,000 consumers, highlighted these concerns. A significant 44% of respondents expressed worries about potent ial breakdowns or the need for roadside repairs when contemplating a switch to an EV. This anxiety was particularly pronounced among older drivers, with 56% of those aged 75 and over voicing their reservations. Geographically, the North East showed the highest level of concern at 52%, and women were marginally more likely to be hesitant than men, with 46% versus 41% expressing reservations.
However, the AA's actual call-out data paints a different picture. It indicates that EVs are more frequently resolved at the roadside compared to issues with a 12-volt battery in traditional internal combustion engine cars. Furthermore, industry readiness to service electric cars continues to grow. A recent survey by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) found that a substantial 81.2% of UK workshops are already equipped to handle EV servicing, suggesting that the infrastructure and expertise are increasingly in place to support EV owners.
