Autel UK are aiming to keep workshops up to date, so the diagnostic expert is throwing its hat into the electric and hybrid ring with the release of its EV expansion model.
With 51 per cent of vehicles sold in the UK in 2023 being either hybrid or 100 per cent electric, the demand for these vehicles to be serviced and maintained is growing at a rapid rate. Autel UK are committed to keeping workshops up to date with the latest developments in diagnostic technology.
New module
The company have recently released the EV expansion module which can be added to the MS909 / MS919 and MS Ultra. The EV expansion module says to allow workshops to quickly and efficiently diagnose battery faults on these vehicles. Currently it is general practice to strip a HV battery to diagnose which cells or modules are faulty, this is no longer required with the EV expansion module.
The technician can connect directly to the high voltage battery monitoring system and display data like cell voltages, module voltage, state of charge and state of health. This not only saves time for the workshop but also makes it safer for technicians to diagnose.
Once the repair is approved by the user the relevant parts can be ordered and the battery pack is only stripped once the required parts are available for repair, speeding up the repair process while also making it safer for the technician.
Report facility
The EV expansion module is priced to offer a really quick return on investment for any technician. It also offers a report facility so the workshop can show the end user the faults in an easy to understand format. Autel UK will also be launching more products around EV repair and maintenance later this year.
