As former founders and operators in automotive, mobility and insurance space, we have heard countless stories of $20K+ battery replacements and high insurance premiums and became obsessed with the costs and uncertainty of EV repair.
Talking to EV technicians and experts, we learned that although EVs generally require less frequent maintenance, they ultimately still breakdown. When they do, specific parts and technical skillsets are required. Unfortunately these repairs tend to come with an unexpected and high repair cost.
Digging deeper, we found that many repair facilities don’t support EV repair and furthermore mechanical breakdown coverage plans were designed for the ICE age.
We started Amber to address these gaps, and bring a fresh, modern approach to vehicle ownership and service. By keeping EVs on the road longer, we believe we can make EVs more accessible and ultimately more sustainable.
