EV vs. Gas Cars After a Crash

What Happens When Electric Meets Impact?

What Repair Techs Want You to Know Electric vehicles have changed the game when it comes to collision repair. With battery packs, aluminum frames, and advanced electronics, EVs require different tools, training, and protocols. At Victory Auto Body and Paint, we’ve invested in EV-safe equipment and certifications so that your Tesla, Rivian, or other electric vehicle gets repaired properly. Unlike gas-powered cars, EVs must be depowered before work begins, and structural components like battery trays must be inspected for damage even in minor accidents. In Burbank, more residents are switching to electric—and we’re keeping pace with the technology to ensure safe, smart, and manufacturer-compliant repairs.
