Frequently Asked Questions

An EV health inspection is a specialized check-up for electric vehicles. Instead of oil and engine compression, we focus on what matters in an EV: the high-voltage battery’s real state of health, the electric motor and drivetrain, brakes, tires, and vehicle software. You receive a written report in plain English with a clear assessment and recommendations.

Most inspections take 60 to 90 minutes. A standalone battery health report is usually done in about 45 minutes, while a full pre-purchase inspection with a road test can take up to 2 hours. You receive a clear written report once the inspection is complete.

We inspect all major EV brands sold in the US, including Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Polestar, and Lucid. We also inspect plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). If you have a less common model, contact us and we’ll confirm coverage.

We connect professional diagnostic equipment directly to the vehicle’s battery management system (BMS) and read the actual measured data: usable capacity, cell voltage balance, internal resistance, and thermal system performance. This is far more accurate than range estimates or phone apps, and we compare the results against the expected degradation curve for your specific make and model.

Yes. Our mobile service covers the entire Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, and surrounding cities. We can meet you at home, at work, or at a seller’s location for a pre-purchase inspection.

A replacement EV battery can cost $10,000–$20,000. Beyond catching serious problems, the report gives you real negotiating power — buyers routinely recover several times the inspection fee in price adjustments, or avoid a bad purchase entirely.

You receive a clear written report. It includes the measured battery state of health, estimated real-world range, any fault codes or issues found, photos where relevant, and a plain-English summary with our recommendation. Reports are easy to share with a seller, buyer, or dealership.
