Purchase price of electric cars much higher which can be found for thermal cars.

But if the account is more salty at the time shopping. Indeed, with the duration of life electric car, the trend may be reversed. This is the case repairs if the numbers are to be believed S.R.A (Protection and repair of cars).

Conflicting numbers

We reported earlier Several days that electric cars can break down more easily than thermal cars.

Fortunately, the SRA figures suggest otherwise repair price for electric cars there is weaker than for thermal.

SRA is Automotive safety and repair and which is responsible for processing, in particular, average costs car repair, incl electric

Lower repair price

To prove this argument, the SRA takes several models such as Zoé or Nissan Leaf.

What can be observed is than in comparison with models in the same segment, prices are on average equivalent to what we find models thermal

In some cases, the rates are even slightly lower.

These numbers must be set in perspective with the quality of the considered vehicles. Indeed, the thermal lower end will, as a rule, have purchase prices and in the lower repair.

An encouraging study

Anyway, this is research shows that it is not necessary to have a damaged electric car in the registry AND than repair always possible

Some thermal models are presented in this is research walk even more often breaking than electric cars.

That facilitate people who could be confused after the figures published by our colleagues from Reuters.
