Hybrid & EV Specialists – Duns

Electric cars have fewer components than a standard combustion engine car therefore, fewer things can go wrong which means that in general, you’re likely to save money on repairs. What is important is that any repairs, in particular those to the high-voltage systems, are carried out by qualified technicians such as those at Adam Green Motors EV.

Yes, once your electric car is over three years old, it will have to pass the annual MOT test just like any other car. The MOT test for electric vehicles covers pretty much the same as the standard MOT test such as checking the lights and tyres etc but of course, the emissions and exhaust parts of the test are not relevant.

It very much depends on what is wrong with the battery and how serious the issue is. If the problem is a damaged connection or perhaps a faulty battery cell, then these can usually be repaired. More serious problems can be costly but it’s worth bearing in mind that batteries are usually covered under the manufacturer warranty. Whatever you do, make sure to take your car to a specialist EV repair centre such as Adam Green Motors EV, for any battery issues as battery repairs should only be attempted by properly qualified and experienced EV technicians.

Many people choose to have a chargepoint installed at home which is probably the easiest option. There are, however, more and more public charge points available should you need to charge your EV while you’re out and about. You can usually find chargepoints in public car parks, supermarket car parks and of course, at motorway service stations. If you’re not sure where your nearest charge point is, you should be able to locate it on the map below.
