Actually, one issue insurance agencies are having is that it almost takes an electrical engineering degree to fix an electric vehicle.

They would love it if you could fix a vehicle instead of having to replace the entire thing, which is what the OEMs want.

The auto insurance industry knows how to influence car makers, they run the IIHS crash testing rating system, and they could probably also rate cars on repairability. Although, sometimes the safety features make it hard to repair, so there's some tradeoffs there.
