Specialist EV Inspection
EVs and hybrids require specialist inspection expertise. Don't trust a standard mechanic with a high-voltage vehicle. Our EV-qualified inspectors check what matters most.
Why EV Inspection Is Different
Electric and hybrid vehicles are fundamentally different from petrol cars. The battery pack, inverter, motor, and charging system are complex, expensive, and not visible during a standard mechanical check.
A standard pre-purchase inspection may miss degraded battery health, charging system faults, thermal management issues, or software problems. These issues can cost $10,000–$30,000+ to fix if they involve the battery or drivetrain.
Our EV inspection specialists use dedicated EV diagnostic tools, battery health scanners, and manufacturer-specific software to give you a true picture of the vehicle's condition — including estimated remaining battery life and range degradation.
State of Health (SoH) reading, cell balance check, thermal management system test, and estimated remaining range at current degradation level.
AC onboard charger, DC fast charging capability, charging port condition, cable integrity, and communication with the vehicle's BMS (Battery Management System).
Deep EV diagnostic scan for stored fault codes, software version status, OTA update history, and any flagged safety warnings in the vehicle's system logs.
