Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Vehicles are gaining traction on Australian roads and, as the technology and infrastructure expands, more and more models will become available for purchase.

Despite being relatively low maintenance compared to an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), EV's still need to be serviced just as regularly.

What's more, due to the high voltage levels contained within EV's and the risk of electrical shock, those servicing them must wear appropriate Protective Personal Equipment (PPE), use insulated tools and have received specialised training.

When selecting a workshop to maintain an EV, one should look for one with trained technicians and up-to-date diagnostic information, as well as the right equipment and quality parts to properly service the vehicle.
