Wellington, you're part of a quiet revolution. ⚡
Fuel prices spike, and Kiwis respond. Following fuel price increases in March 2026, there was a big shift in EV and plug-in hybrid purchases — and it's still accelerating. Around 14,000 new electric cars are forecast to find homes in New Zealand in 2026 — a tally higher than the combined count from the previous two years. 😲
If you've just joined that wave, welcome. But here's something most dealers won't tell you on the day you drive off the forecourt: Your EV still needs specialist electrical care and not every workshop can provide it.
Key areas like battery systems, braking components, cooling systems, and software all need regular attention to ensure long-term performance and reliability. The high-voltage battery is the most important and expensive component in an EV.
Servicing an EV is different to a petrol model and requires expert knowledge and not all mechanics currently offer EV services.
We do. Our team is trained to work safely on hybrid and EV electrical systems — diagnostics, auxiliary repairs, and everything in between. You made a smart investment. Let's help you protect it. 🔌 📞 0508 227 772
