Navigating Complexity in Collision Claims
6 MIN READ
The collision industry is at a turning point. Advances in vehicle technology, rising repair costs and ongoing supply chain disruptions are putting even more pressure on organizations to improve outcomes by controlling severity and reducing cycle time. In this environment, accuracy and efficiency are equally as important in driving operational success.
Plugged-In: EV Collision Insights Q1 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.
Plugged-In: EV Collision Insights 2025 Year in Review
After several years of steady growth, the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market experienced significant volatility in 2025. Automotive manufacturers scaled back investments—including Ford with its F-150 Lightning end of production announcement—and the U.S. and Canada rescinded tax credits designed to boost consumer demand for BEVs. While brands like GM, Honda and Volkswagen experienced modest BEV sales gains, overall adoption slowed. In the U.S., BEV purchases declined by approximately 2% from 2024 and with more electrified alternatives, Tesla’s market share also dropped to 46.2% from 48.7% in 2024.
Plugged-In: EV Collision Insights Q3 2025
Claims frequency for repairable, collision-damaged battery electric vehicles (BEVs) rose to 3.21% in the U.S.—an all-time high and increase of 4.2% year over year. Predictably, new BEV purchases surged, jumping 36% compared to Q3 2024 as many American consumers capitalized on the $7,500 tax credit that expired on September 30. Several large automakers including GM, Ford, Kia and Hyundai reported record-breaking BEV sales in Q3 with Hyundai posting a 153% annual increase in September BEV purchases.
