Reduced EV performance after front underbody damage on a Toyota Yaris

I own a 2024 Toyota Yaris hybrid with 600 km on the odometer. I recently drove up onto a curb and scratched the entire front underside of the car. Besides the visible damage, the car seems to be behaving differently. Before the accident, I could drive 80% of my routes in EV mode, but now it's only 30%. What could be damaged besides the scratched surface that could affect the performance of the EV mode?

The owner of a 2024 Toyota Yaris hybrid experienced a significant reduction in EV mode performance after damaging the front underside of the car by driving over a curb. Possible causes for the reduced performance include damage to the undercarriage, battery, or electrical connections. It is suggested to inspect for loose or damaged wiring, particularly around the battery, and to consult a professional mechanic for a thorough evaluation and repair.
