Repairing complex hybrid systems involves a combination of electric vehicle and traditional engine knowledge but it is the interaction of the two which makes hybrid vehicle unique. Over the years from the first Toyota Prius to today charging hybrids the developments in technology require hybrid mechanics to be fully up to speed with all hybrid scenarios.

Whilst most hybrids will let provide dashboard alerts if you are experiencing any knocking or suspension noises while driving, it is important to get in touch with us right away. It may be a traditional car problem that needs fixing and we can do these too. Ignoring any type of warning signs could lead to further damage to your vehicle, compromising its ability to provide a smooth, efficient and safe ride.

We are familiar with regenerative braking systems in hybrid vehicles as these vehicles utilise kinetic energy during the braking process. Rather than turning that energy into wasted heat like traditional brake systems, regenerative braking systems capture a portion of it and use it to recharge the car's battery. Understanding this concept is crucial for hybrid mechanics, as it allows them to efficiently diagnose and maintain the electric vehicle brakes to ensure optimal performance when switching between the two power sources.

Working with the high voltage system in an electric vehicle is a serious task that should only be undertaken by licensed and trained mechanics. The high voltage battery in an electric car is not something to be taken lightly, as it can deliver a lethal shock if mishandled. With voltages reaching 300 volts or more, it is imperative that mechanics understand the potential dangers associated with working on these systems. Proper procedures must be followed to ensure the safety of both the mechanic and anyone else around the vehicle.

Before attempting any maintenance on an electric vehicle's high voltage system,  a trained mechanic will safely engage with and disarm the system. Correct procedures must be strictly adhered to, and protective measures such as insulated gloves and tools are always used when working with high voltage components. By taking these precautions seriously, we prevent accidents and injuries that could result from improper handling of the high voltage system in an electric vehicle.

Electric vehicle regenerative braking systems may be a revolutionary advancement in automotive engineering, but the basic components used are still similar to those found in traditional gas-powered cars. This knowledge allows mechanics to approach electric vehicle repairs with confidence and expertise, knowing how each component functions within the system. By having a deep understanding of regenerative braking systems, mechanics can better serve their customers by providing efficient maintenance and repairs for hybrid and electric vehicles, ultimately contributing to the widespread adoption of environmentally-friendly transportation options.

An L3 Award in Electric/Hybrid Vehicle System Repair and Replacement is a specialised certification that equips automotive technicians with the knowledge and skills required to work on electric and hybrid vehicles.
