Electric cars: an association warns of the difficulty of repairing them
Electric cars: an association warns of the difficulty of repairing them
(France 2)
In a report, the association “Stop planned obsolescence” states that most electric vehicles would be difficult or even impossible to repair.
Are electric cars disposable products that must be repurchased at the first breakdown? According to a report from the “Stop planned obsolescence” association, most models are difficult or even impossible to repair. The fault lies in an essential part located under the car. The engine parts are often cast in a single block. In the event of a breakdown or accident, there is no other choice than to change the entire vehicle.
A more expensive intervention
When the car is repairable, mechanics must use specific equipment and intervene for much longer. The bill looks set to be higher. The association “Stop planned obsolescence” denounces economic absurdity and environmental heresy. She calls for stricter rules for manufacturers. The association hopes to challenge candidates for the European elections, in the hope of obtaining a circular and more sustainable economy model.
