EV collision repair is a facility discipline: a high-voltage system to verify before, during and after structural work, a battery pack that may need safe handling or staged storage, an isolated work zone, and ADAS calibration to close the repair.
This guide covers the equipment layer that makes a collision facility EV-capable — for independent collision centres, dealer collision operations and MSOs planning the investment. Structural, welding and refinish capability already has canonical FixFin authority; this guide adds the EV-specific layer on top of it.
