Hybrid & EV Repairs & Servicing

Yes, as with petrol and diesel cars, electric cars will need an MOT after they are three years old. The difference is that they don’t need emissions tests. We can carry out your EV’s MOT test here at J Day Engineering.

No, there’s no need. We service electric and hybrid vehicles here at our workshop in Henstridge Marsh, Templecombe, and because we are fully qualified, accredited by EVA and service to manufacturer specifications, your warranty remains totally safe.

Electric cars have far fewer moving parts so there’s less opportunity for things to actually go wrong – they break down less, suffer from less wear and tear and so require fewer expensive repairs.

With advances in battery technology, electric car range is increasing all the time. Although the driving range and mileage of electric cars do vary, drivers may generally anticipate an average of 250 miles per charge. It’s worth bearing in mind that a variety of factors, such as weather and battery size can impact an electric vehicle’s range.

You can charge your car when you park in public places such as supermarkets, gyms, cinemas, retail parks and town centre car parks, and we have two charge points here at J Day Engineering which are available for customer use. If you have a charging point installed at your house, this will probably be the most convenient way to charge your electric car. The interactive map below will help you locate the charge point nearest your location.
