Similar to our Tesla Dent Repair. EVs and hybrid vehicles have a lot high voltage power cables running through out the vehicle.
Mainly around the area of the charging port which can quite often be located on the front wing or rear quarter panels.
High-Voltage Systems
EVs and hybrids have high voltage batteries and power cables running throughout the car. These systems can carry up to 800 volts or more than enough to cause serious injury or even death if mishandled.
Danger: Accidentally piercing or damaging a cable during a repair (like when using sharp tools for dent removal) could lead to electric shock, fire, or vehicle damage.
Solution: Only technicians trained and certified in EV safety should work on these vehicles.

Restricted Access to Panels
Many EVs, have unique internal structures:
Thicker bracing, insulation, and sound deadening materials can limit access behind panels.
This makes it harder to use traditional repair methods like pushing dents from behind.
Sensitive Electronics
EVs and hybrids are packed with sensors, cameras, and electronics especially for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).
During a repair, even a small bump to the wrong area can affect systems like autopilot, lane-keep assist, or emergency braking.

Special Tools and Knowledge Required
EV repairs often need insulated tools, safety gear, and specialised equipment.
Technicians must understand how the battery systems and electronics work to avoid damaging components or voiding warranties.
