Yes. However your bay must include specific items different than a standard bay. While renovations are always an option, if you are working with an existing space, you must commit a designated area for BEV/HEV repairs ONLY with clear indication of limited access to those authorized to work within the space.
Here are a few things you need to include in your EV/Hybrid bay:
– Yellow and black tape and caution/danger signage
– Service area barricade equipment including high voltage warnings
– A Shepard’s rescue hook
– Lock out/Tag out procedures and signage
– PPE for your technicians
– Insulated repair tools
Be mindful of the capital investment you will need to make when repairing EVs and Hybrids. These investments can include EV lifts, EV battery lifts, charging stations, electric test tools, equipment for programming onboard software and EV-compatible diagnostic equipment.
