Hey everyone, it’s John from Evolve, and today I want to talk about the importance of proper repairs on electric vehicles. Occasionally, we come across examples of bad repairs on electric vehicles, and the problems customers face as a result.
One common issue we see is non-certified repairs or repairs that focus mainly on traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. These repairs may prioritize exterior panel damage and cosmetic issues, but lack the capability to understand and repair the digital systems in electric vehicles.
Recently, we had a Model Y come into our shop for repair. The vehicle had been previously repaired and was not running. The paint job was subpar, with noticeable gaps and poor panel fit. The repair was so bad that fixing it would cost more than the car itself.
Upon closer inspection, we found wires hanging everywhere, indicating a lack of proper repair knowledge. The charge port was missing, and screws were holding structural panels together. It was clear that this repair was not safe or up to standard.
The main issue with the vehicle was that it wouldn’t run, and diagnosing the damage would be a challenge. The cost of repairing the vehicle would likely be double the price of replacing it. This situation highlights the importance of proper repairs on electric vehicles and the need for expertise in this area.
Many of these poorly repaired vehicles are purchased at auctions, often with salvage titles. They are then repaired and either sold locally or sent out of the country. The difference in repairability between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles is significant, and it’s crucial to have professionals who understand the complexities of electric vehicles.
