New research from Warranty Solutions Group (WSG) highlights the rising cost of electric vehicle (EV) repairs, revealing that the largest EV warranty claim made between 2023 and 2024 was a £5,000 replacement transfer box and electric drive for an Audi E-Tron Sportback Quattro.
The second-highest claim came from a Nissan Leaf E Plus N-Tec for a £3,654.35 radio unit, followed by a £3,000 heater fan motor replacement on a Tesla Model X 100D.
WSG’s analysis of 800 EV warranty claims from March 2022 to October 2024 shows that the average claim for an EV was £675.97, significantly higher than the average claims for hybrid vehicles (£633.18) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles (£482.52).
