Electric cars, a financial black hole for insurers

Revolte, a garage in Thiais, specializes in repairing electric vehicle batteries instead of replacing them. Co-founder Rémy Lê notes they receive over a thousand requests monthly but can only accept 200. The workshop features two labs focused on electronics and batteries. Many repairs involve fixing electronic cards with inexpensive components, a service rarely offered in France. Co-founder Alexis Marcadet highlights that most repair shops opt for costly replacements, leading to bills between €5,000 and €50,000. He argues that electric vehicles could last up to 40 years with proper repairs, as they have fewer components than traditional cars.
