Fella finds EV repairs can be pricey with $42K bill after just a fender bender

Landscaper Chris Apfelstadt of Columbus, Ohio, shared a post in a Facebook group for Rivian fans recounting how while driving his electric truck one day, he was struck from behind at a “relatively low speed.” No airbags inflated, he noted, and purported pictures of the accident show only minor damage to the rear bumper of his pickup.

“I figured the repair would be expensive but had no idea!” Apfelstadt wrote on Facebook.
