Car Theft Data Has a Silver Lining for EV Owners

Technological advancements have transformed both driving and vehicle theft methods. Recent data from the Highway Loss Data Institute revealed the most and least-stolen vehicles from 2022 to 2024. Sports cars and luxury vehicles dominate the theft list, with the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Acura TLX 4WD ranked among the top.

Their parking tendencies contribute to reduced theft risks.
