Electric vehicle (EV) sales in the UK face a setback due to a shortage of trained mechanics, raising repair costs and causing insurers to total relatively minor damages. Less than 10% of UK auto mechanics are qualified for advanced EV repairs, increasing insurance prices. The complexity and risk associated with EV circuits demand specialized training. Long wait times for parts and a scarcity of functioning charge points further hinder EV adoption.
