Electric Vehicles

 Considering buying or do you own an electric vehicle?


As an Accredited EV Specialist we can help you with appraisals, advice, testing and maintenance of your Electric Vehicle (E.V).

Yes E.V's do need maintenance, although in most cases not as expensive as a combustion engine, but definitely just as important.  Regular maintenance helps to extend the life of your battery.

The battery is the most important part of your E.V. and we can give you a very accurate assessment of your battery or if you are looking to purchase and E.V - it's best to check the battery BEFORE you buy the car.

We have a Nissan Leaf Gen1 24Kw.  Come in and take it for a spin.
