Record Low Electric Vehicle Breakdowns in June

The percentage of electric vehicle breakdowns caused by running out of battery hit a record low of 1.4% in June, down significantly from previous years. Factors contributing to this decline include the increase in the number and reliability of public chargers, better charging support, improved EV range, and enhanced driver education. The AA expects this trend to continue, with EV breakdowns potentially dropping to 1% annually, equivalent to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. While the UK charging infrastructure has shown improvement, concerns about public charging network reliability persist, urging for more investment in accessible charging points to boost confidence in switching to EVs.
