EVs Don’t Break… Until They Do | XCare EV Protection

They Said EVs Don’t Break
No oil. No engine. No problem. That’s the myth every EV owner buys into right up until the warranty ends. Then, the truth hits like a five-figure repair quote. Suspension sensors. Battery contactors. Drive-unit inverters. The same simplicity that makes EVs fun to drive also makes them costly to fix.
What Really Fails in an EV
Most EVs don’t “break down” like gas cars — they shut down. One faulty high-voltage component can immobilize the entire vehicle.
- A high-voltage battery failure can cost $8,000 – $14,000.
- A drive-unit replacement? $6,000 – $9,000.
- Even touchscreen or charge-port failures often cross the $2,000 line.
These aren’t hypothetical; they’re everyday service invoices once factory coverage expires.
The Moment the Warranty Ends
Your factory warranty doesn’t just protect your battery; it protects your peace of mind. But once that coverage runs out, every diagnostic test, tow, or replacement part lands squarely on you. And with repair costs rising year over year, it’s no wonder more EV owners are turning to extended protection.
The Smart Move Before It’s Too Late
XCare EV Protection was built for this exact moment. It’s the only warranty designed for every EV not just Tesla and it includes full coverage for the battery, drive unit, electronics, and more.
If your EV is still eligible, now is the time to act. Because when EVs break, they don’t break small and once you’re out of warranty, there’s no going back.
Protect your EV before the next repair quote arrives.
