EV servicing is coming to every UK workshop whether they invest in it or not. The independents that get there first take the customer for life.
HV safety training first
IMI Level 2 (or equivalent) is the minimum. It's a week of training and a few grand — pays back in year one on a decent EV mix.
Start with brake regeneration and coolant
EV brakes wear slowly but seize on the caliper. Coolant loops for the pack are the two most predictable service items.
Marketing that finds EV drivers
EV drivers ask each other, not Google. Getting one right leads to five more locally.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a dedicated bay?
- Not immediately — a floor bay works; HV safety zoning does.
