The maintenance of new energy vehicles has become a hot topic as the industry evolves rapidly. With the increasing reliance on electric vehicles (EVs), the need for specialized repair services is on the rise. However, the current state of maintenance for these vehicles is facing significant challenges.
As of May 16, 2025, it has been noted that the maintenance sector for new energy vehicles is struggling to adapt to the growing demand. Many repair shops lack the necessary qualifications and expertise, leading to a rise in incidents involving improper repairs. Recently, two repair technicians in Shanghai were reported for mishandling an electric vehicle, resulting in damage due to their lack of understanding of the specific requirements for EV maintenance.
From February to April of this year, a particular repair shop in Beijing also faced scrutiny after multiple errors were reported. The shop was found to be inadequately equipped to handle the complexities of new energy vehicles, which often require unique parts and specialized software for diagnostics and repair.
Experts emphasize the importance of adhering to established guidelines and maintaining high standards in the repair industry. There is a growing consensus that the current regulatory framework needs to be updated to cope with the rapid technological advancements in the EV sector. This includes ensuring that technicians are adequately trained and that repair shops are equipped with the latest tools and knowledge.
One significant issue highlighted is the lack of a standardized approach to vehicle repair. Many EV manufacturers have specific guidelines for maintenance that are not universally followed, leading to inconsistencies in service quality across different repair shops. Without proper regulation, there is a risk of subpar service, which could endanger vehicle performance and safety.
The market for new energy vehicles is projected to grow significantly, with an estimated increase from 1.2 million vehicles in 2019 to 1.125 million by 2024. This surge underscores the urgency for the maintenance sector to keep pace with the industry growth. As more consumers transition to electric vehicles, the demand for reliable and knowledgeable repair services will only increase.
In conclusion, the maintenance of new energy vehicles presents a unique set of challenges that must be addressed to ensure the safety and satisfaction of consumers. The industry must focus on improving training, adhering to regulatory standards, and ensuring that repair shops are equipped to meet the demands of this evolving market.
