Plugged-In: EV Collision Insights Q1 2026

May 14, 2026

The U.S. share of repairable collision claims involving battery electric vehicles (BEVs) held steady at 3.33% in Q1 2026, unchanged from Q4 2025. Although sales of new BEVs grew modestly quarter over quarter, they remain 28% lower year over year. Several OEMs have scaled back production following increases in import tariffs and the expiration of federal tax incentives. Despite this near-term slowdown, BEVs are projected to reach approximately 29% of new vehicle sales and just over 10% of vehicles in operation by 2035, driving a steady increase in collision exposure.
