Why can’t a regular panel beater repair my electric car?

If your electric or hybrid vehicle needs smash repairs, it’s important to use qualified electric vehicle panel beaters. It’s not just the engine that differs between EVs, hybrids and ICE vehicles; the architecture of the car and the materials used are also entirely different. Trained technicians can account for these differences and provide appropriate solutions.

For example, a lithium-ion electric motor can weigh nearly 200 kg more than a combustion engine. Electric vehicle manufacturers build car bodies from extremely lightweight materials, like carbon fibre and aluminium or composite metals, to offset that weight and maximise battery efficiency. These light metals often cannot be repaired the same way as the heavier metals used on an ICE vehicle. 

No matter what you need taken care of, whether it’s a small paint scratch or a smash-induced air conditioning service, it’s best to choose an EV repairs expert. Sheen’s electric car panel beaters have the experience to offer accurate diagnoses and cost-effective repairs. We also offer a lifetime guarantee on all work.
