Non-Tesla EVs cost only $269 more on average per collision repair according to new data
In the constantly transitioning landscape of electric vehicles, cost considerations extend beyond the purchase price. Repairing potential collision damage can scare away some buyers. Now, a new study might alleviate some of that concern. Almost all new cars today feature advanced technology. That tech, made up of components like lidar sensors, radar sensors, and cameras is often contained in major body panels.
For one thing, the average repair cost of a combustion-powered car across all of Mitchell's customers was $4,205. That's only $269 less than that of a non-Tesla EV which cost, again, on average, $4,474. That's a difference of just six percent. Interestingly, those who own a Tesla are indeed in for a larger repair bill statistically. The same data indicates that they pay, on average, $5,552 or about 27 percent more.
