EV & HYBRID REPAIR SHOP
EQUIPMENT GUIDE

Servicing electric and hybrid vehicles is not a scanner purchase — it's a facility capability built in layers: a high-voltage diagnostic bench, battery service and handling, thermal-system capability, an organized and safety-conscious work environment, and the conventional bays most shops already have.

This guide lays out those layers for Canadian shops planning EV capability — new EV specialists, existing repair shops adding an EV line, and dealership service departments building it in-house. It also distinguishes BEV, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and 48-volt mild-hybrid service, because the equipment mix follows the powertrain.

Scope note: this is about the equipment inside the facility. Electric and hybrid vehicle purchase financing is a different pathway — and charging-station installation is a separate program outside this guide.
