The very idea of offering EV replacement vehicles following an accident would have been absurd just a few years ago, yet it is gradually becoming a necessity for dealers who must cater for a rapidly growing pool of EV owners. . As the latest year-to-date SMMT results show a year-on-year increase of 185% in Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) registrations, alongside a rising number of alternatively fuelled cars across the board, the concept of electric vehicles as a core part of a dealer's accident aftercare service must become a reality ― EV owners have high expectations. The rise of EVs is only going to accelerate, and AX research has shown that more than half (55%) of drivers are thinking of buying an EV as their next car purchase in the next two years. As the car parc continues to evolve and the number of electric cars on the roads rises - with many of them premium marques 一 it is rapidly becoming a requirement for retailers to provide a like-for-like replacement solution in the event a customer has an accident in their EV. |
