Plugged-In: EV Collision Insights Q2 2025
Claims frequency for repairable, collision-damaged battery electric vehicles (BEVs) fell for the first time in the U.S.—dropping to 2.92% last quarter, a decrease of 7%. This decline coincided with a 6.3% reduction in new BEV purchases compared to Q2 2024 despite record-breaking sales earlier in the year. Consumer demand is being tested as federal tax incentives are set to expire in September while discounts for electrified options reached an all-time high of nearly $8,500 per automobile by the end of the quarter.
