In the initial stages of electric vehicle (EV) adoption, many early adopters opted for affordable battery repairs at independent workshops. However, as newer EV models emerge with sealed batteries and limited access to manufacturer data, repairing becomes more challenging, leading to a preference for expensive replacements. This transition conflicts with the sustainability principles of EVs, sparking worries about heightened expenses and environmental consequences. Advocates argue that repairing batteries prolongs their lifespan and aligns better with sustainability goals.
