Our Services
-
With so many different types of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles on the road it is imperative for our first responders and towing providers have the knowledge and best practices to properly handle an EV that has been involved in an accident, while protecting themselves, the occupants and the environment. We can provide general guidance for Li-Ion powered EVs as well as manufacturer specifics for the most common EVs currently in production.
-
If you are just getting into EVs/Hybrids or want to expand your current knowledge we can explain the key differences, components and all of those acronyms that can make your head spin. From PHEV to BEV, and J1772 to LIB and beyond we have you covered.
-
EVs currently operate from 400 to 800 Volts that require personal protective equipment and special tooling when working on the high voltage system or battery. Our Training will teach you how to recognize a high voltage system, how to properly shut it down and then verify that there is not voltage present in the system.
-
Li-Ion batteries are inherently safe if used as directed by the manufacturer. However, under certain abuse scenarios such as excessive heating or crushing the cells have the potential to short out and start heating. The electrolyte contained inside the cells is flammable and can produce a self sustaining fire. In this course we discuss the different abuse scenarios and how to prevent them. We also provide strategies to mitigate battery’s that have been compromised with diagnostics and special tooling.
-
If you are looking to purchase an EV let us advise you with our extensive knowledge and hands on experience. From the Economy minded to, performance and utility our team can identify several options that suit your desire to go Electric!
If you are purchasing a used EV we can perform a comprehensive inspection of the vehicles mechanical and electrical components, including battery State of Health, review service records, and vehicle data as well as look for any potential recall notices or service bulletins for your specific vehicle.
-
Being involved in an accident can be a traumatic experience. Ensuring your EV is repaired properly should not be. Our team has over 15 years of Collision Repair experience dealing with luxury brands and specialized body construction such as all aluminum intense vehicles. We will help you navigate the repair process to ensure your vehicle is repaired to OEM standards using the correct parts. If any of the EV’s electrical components are damaged such as the battery, motor, or HV cables we will be able to inspect them and advise on how best to proceed.
-
We provide consultations and advising to Repair Facilities and Independent shops looking to expand their scope to Electric Vehicles. Collision Repair centers, Wheel and Tire shops, Independent mechanics and aftermarket accessory shops all can benefit from our resources. These include activating service mode, proper lifting techniques, high voltage awareness and more!
-
Our team is ready to recommend specific tooling and equipment to help you work on your electric vehicle. We can assist with off the shelf tools and even provide custom equipment solutions for your needs!
-
We are looking for unique projects to repurpose used EV batteries and perform custom builds. Off grid battery storage systems to EV conversions. Contact us today with your project idea!
