Electric & hybrid vehicles
Electric and hybrid vehicles need technicians who understand both conventional vehicle systems and the additional electrical, battery and high-voltage technology that powers them. AutoNet VIP provides servicing, diagnostics and repair support for fully electric, plug-in hybrid and self-charging hybrid vehicles.
In detail
Whether you are booking routine maintenance or trying to resolve a warning message, charging fault or battery-related issue, we can assess the vehicle and advise on the right next step.
01 EV & hybrid services
02 Common EV problems we investigate
Many EV garages focus mainly on tyres, brakes and routine inspection. AutoNet VIP can also investigate faults within the electrical and high-voltage system — a useful first point of contact when an EV develops warning messages, charging problems, reduced performance or battery-related faults.
That is exactly what diagnostics are for. Tell us what the vehicle is doing and any messages on the dashboard. We start with the appropriate checks and avoid replacing parts based on guesswork.
Makes we work on
All high-voltage work is assessed case by case — we diagnose first, then explain the options.
EV FAQs
Yes. We provide servicing, diagnostics and repair support for fully electric, plug-in hybrid and self-charging hybrid vehicles — from routine maintenance through to high-voltage fault investigation.
EVs need less engine-related maintenance, but they still need regular inspection. Brakes, tyres, suspension, cabin filters, brake fluid, cooling systems and the 12-volt battery all remain important, and are checked as part of an EV service.
Not necessarily. Many high-voltage faults relate to supporting components — the battery management system, contactors, safety devices, cooling, power conversion or the 12-volt supply — rather than the complete pack. We diagnose first so repair decisions are based on evidence.
We carry out high-voltage battery and BMS diagnostics and can provide a diagnostic report or certificate where appropriate. Get in touch with your make and model and we will advise what is suitable for your vehicle.
For Tesla we offer high-voltage pack replacement and, where diagnosis shows it is suitable, module replacement on Model S and Model X. For other makes we evaluate the system and advise whether the next step is repair, component replacement or further specialist testing. All battery work is assessed case by case.
Because the friction brakes are used less, discs and pads can corrode — especially in damp weather or on cars used for short trips. Electronic parking brakes and brake-by-wire systems also need the right diagnostic equipment.
Yes. Electric and hybrid vehicles require an MOT in the same way as other eligible vehicles — and if yours also needs servicing or diagnostics, it can all stay with one workshop.
