Electrical System FAQ

What makes EV electrical systems different?

EVs operate at high voltages (400-800V) with complex power electronics, requiring specialized safety equipment and training. Traditional 12V automotive electrical knowledge is insufficient for EV systems.

How do you safely work on high-voltage systems?

We follow strict OSHA lockout/tagout procedures, use insulated tools rated for high voltage, and verify system de-energization before beginning work. All technicians are certified for high-voltage safety.

Can electrical problems damage the battery?

Yes, electrical faults can potentially damage expensive battery systems. Early diagnosis and repair prevent cascading failures and protect your investment in the battery pack.

Why do some electrical problems seem intermittent?

Temperature changes, vibration, and moisture can cause intermittent electrical connections. Our thermal imaging and oscilloscope testing can identify these elusive faults.

How long do electrical system repairs take?

Diagnostic time varies from 2-8 hours depending on complexity. Repairs can range from same-day connector repairs to multi-day control module replacements requiring programming.
