EV Service Recommendations

Assuming you just need a regular service then any garage should be able to do it. The electric components are sealed and generally don't need maintenance

My wife got her Leaf serviced at the local Fast fit, no issues

I think you'd be very well advised to go to a main dealer, especially for just €77. It just puts you in a much better position in future if you did have something go wrong. What is it, may 5 years old, and likely still under battery warranty?

What's the issue with the local mechanic that he won't service it? Does he realise it's a regular car service just without all the engine related bits

But sure what is an EV service other than checking brake pads and tyre wear? Tyres you can check yourself and you may aswell wait for the NCT for your pads which probably aren't that worn anyway.

If this old article is to be believed, the Kona should still be in warranty for another few years. Not that it should need anything, but you'd hate for it to fail and then not be covered because Hyundai say a third party didn't follow their specs to the letter.

Really? I would have thought they would only need to do that training to work on the HV components. They should just need basic safety training to avoid the electrical components for servicing
