Currently reading: Safety body to investigate EV repair and insurance costs

Thatcham Research will examine ‘pain points’ for electric cars, helping shape new era for car insurance

Thatcham Research will lead a five-month investigation into EV repair and salvage processes to help insurance companies prepare for the post-ICE era.

The safety specialist has received funding for the project from Innovate UK, the government-backed national innovation agency.

The non-profit firm, which helps to run the Euro NCAP crash-testing program, claims that little is currently known about how the repair and insurance processes work for EVs and how they differ from those for ICE cars.
