Electric vehicles face lower theft risk than gasoline cars

Electric vehicles are stolen significantly less often than gasoline-powered cars. This is partly because EVs are frequently parked in garages for charging, making them less accessible to thieves. Additionally, modern EVs often have advanced anti-theft systems and lack the traditional wiring that allows for hotwiring. Studies show that the least-stolen vehicles include several electric and plug-in hybrid models, with theft claim frequencies substantially lower than the average.
