Local knowledge
Buying an EV in Brisbane?
City driving is easy on an EV pack, but Brisbane's summers are not. Heat is the single biggest driver of battery degradation, and a car that has spent three years charging on an uncovered driveway in Chermside behaves very differently from one garaged in New Farm. We test the pack against the model's expected curve for this climate, not a European average.
A lot of Brisbane stock sits in dealer yards along Moorooka, Newstead and the Kessels Road strip. We're used to working in those yards, we book the access ourselves, and we don't need you standing there while we do it.

What we checkSuburbs we cover in Brisbane
Every inspection is fully mobile. Not on the list? If it's in Brisbane we'll be there — and we regularly travel beyond it for the right job.
By model
What we look for on the cars selling in Brisbane.
Every platform has its own weak points, its own battery chemistry and its own diagnostic protocol. Pick the car you're looking at and see the known faults, variant differences and battery notes before you go and see it.
Whatever the badge, the pack gets the same treatment — see how we test state of health, what degradation is normal and whether the warranty transfers.
What you get
The same inspection, wherever the car is.
Battery measured
State of health, cell balance and realistic range — read off the pack, not the dash.
High-voltage safety
Isolation testing, contactors and cabling, plus evidence of past HV repair work.
Charging tested live
AC and DC sessions where a charger is available, including taper behaviour.
Report in 24 hours
Photos, costed defects and a plain-English verdict, then a call to talk it through.

Buying your first EV? Start with the battery health guide and the used EV checklist.
Do you charge extra to come to Brisbane?
No. Brisbane City Council area is covered end to end with no call-out fee — Bracken Ridge to Sunnybank costs the same as an inspection in the CBD.
How soon can you inspect?
One to three days is typical in Brisbane because we work with specialists on both sides of the river. Same-week slots are usually available for private sales.
Can you test DC fast charging locally?
Yes — Brisbane has enough public DC infrastructure that we can usually run a genuine fast-charge session as part of a Complete inspection, and we'll say in the report exactly where and at what rate it was tested.
