We assess overall battery condition, charge capacity, and remaining range life using specialized equipment.

Electric motor and transmission check

We evaluate motor performance and transmission function for smooth and efficient operation.

Understand Your

EV Before You Buy


Our digital inspection reports are clear, organized, and packed with useful information, so you know exactly what to expect from the vehicle you’re considering. Each report includes a detailed battery health analysis, high-resolution photos of inspected components, diagnostic scan results, technician observations and notes, and repair recommendations if needed, along with clear pass/fail indicators for each section. Designed for non-technical buyers, our reports make it easy to understand the true condition of any EV, helping you make informed and confident decisions.

WHY

EV Inspections Are Essential


Electric vehicles (EVs) are clean, efficient, and packed with advanced technology, but they come with unique complexities. High-voltage batteries, sophisticated software, and specialized electrical systems require expert inspection. Without it, hidden issues could cost thousands to fix later. Whether you’re buying your first EV or adding to your fleet, a professional inspection ensures you get exactly what you’re paying for. Here’s what makes EVs uniquely important to inspect:

Battery Health & Range Degradation

Software Diagnostics

Charging System Condition

Electrical & Drive Components

A proper EV inspection isn’t just about peace of mind — it’s about making a smart, informed decision backed by expert analysis. With the EV market booming, make sure you’re not left with a vehicle that looks great on the outside but hides costly surprises on the inside.
