Summary
The AA reports a significant decline in electric vehicle (EV) breakdowns due to depleted batteries, constituting less than 2% (1.85%) of all EV breakdowns in 2024, down from 2.26% in 2023 to 8.26% in 2015. This improvement is attributed to the expansion and reliability of charging infrastructure, enhanced EV ranges, and better driver education. AA President Edmund King notes that many ‘out of charge’ incidents involve vehicles with low charge or technical issues, such as malfunctioning charge point covers. The AA handles approximately 8,000 breakdowns daily, with only 5 to 6 involving EVs running out of charge.
