High-voltage Component Repairs

Specialist diagnostics and repair-first solutions for the high-voltage components that control charging, 12V supply, and motor drive.

If your EV or hybrid has charging faults, “charging system fault” warnings, repeated drivetrain alerts, or won’t enter “Ready”, we can identify the root cause and advise the most cost-effective repair route.

High-voltage component faults can look like “battery failure”, but often aren’t

A large number of EV and hybrid issues that present as battery or drivetrain problems are actually caused by the vehicle’s power electronics. These modules manage power conversion and control across the high-voltage and low-voltage systems, including:

  • Converting HV battery DC power to drive the motor (inverter)
  • Converting AC charge power into DC to charge the HV battery (on-board charger)
  • Converting HV to 12V to support the vehicle’s low-voltage systems (DC-DC converter)

We use structured diagnostics to confirm what has failed and why, and we prioritise repair over replacement wherever appropriate.

Common Symptoms

Vehicle won’t charge / “Unable to charge”

Charge sessions fail, the car refuses to accept charge, or the charge port shows no activity. This is commonly linked to on-board charger or charging control faults.

“Charging system fault detected” / 12V not charging correctly

If the 12V system is not being supported properly, you may see charging system warnings and a range of knock-on faults. A common cause is DC-DC converter failure or protection states.

Drivetrain warnings / reduced performance / intermittent cut-outs

Power electronics issues (including inverter faults) can cause reduced power, limp mode, drivability issues, and repeated fault codes.

Won’t enter “Ready” / no-start (HV system inhibited)

If the HV system will not come online, the root cause may be within inverter/charger systems, DC-DC supply issues, or safety-related HV faults that prevent contactors from closing.

Our High-Voltage Component Repair Services

High-Voltage Inverters

The inverter converts the battery’s DC power into three‑phase AC to drive the electric motor and manages motor control under load. When an inverter develops a fault, the result can range from reduced power and warnings to a complete no‑start/no‑“Ready” condition.⁠⁠
We diagnose inverter and motor-control related faults and advise the right repair route based on findings.

DC-DC Converters

The DC-DC converter supplies and maintains the 12V electrical system from the high-voltage system. When it fails, you can see charging system warnings, low-voltage issues, and drivability problems caused by unstable 12V supply.⁠⁠
We carry out diagnostics to confirm whether the fault is within the converter, supporting wiring/grounds, or a wider system control issue.

On-Board Chargers

The on-board charger converts AC from a charge point into DC to charge the high-voltage battery. Failures can present as “unable to charge”, repeated charge faults, blown supply fuses, or loss of communication with the OBC control unit.⁠⁠
Where appropriate, we repair or replace the failed unit, then validate charging operation.

Charging port and charge cable faults (where applicable)

Some “not charging” cases are caused by charge port/cable issues rather than the battery. We can diagnose and advise next steps when symptoms indicate charge port hardware faults or related wiring issues.⁠⁠

All work is backed by a 12-month warranty covering both parts and labour, giving you peace of mind and confidence in the quality of our service.

Very helpful at solving a major fault. Though a big job, itc cost half of what it would have done at main dealer who would have replaced more than needed. Customer service very good.
