Adding Hybrid And EV Service To Your Shop

Hybrids have been traveling American roads longer than some techs have been alive, yet shops in general have yet to embrace the service opportunities these aging vehicles offer. And with the OE focus growing on the development and production of EV-only models, isn’t now the time to position yourself as THE shop in town customers can come to for electric vehicle repairs?

But you must start with understanding how these HV systems work and how to work safely around them. Then you can build on testing and servicing them. Testing HV batteries, for example, is a growing source of revenue as they near their useful service life and begin to rob vehicle owners of those high MPG numbers. Identifying isolation faults in the Motor/Generators is another ticket to a high revenue item.
