CINEVE | Challenge of Repairing a New Energy Vehicle

With the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles, many car owners and auto repair professionals have noticed a phenomenon: despite their seemingly simpler structure, new energy vehicles are far more difficult and expensive to repair than traditional fuel-powered cars. High repair costs, complex faults, and difficult repairs have become common pain points in the new energy vehicle maintenance industry. In fact, the difficulty in repairing new energy vehicles is not due to issues with the vehicle quality, but rather the result of multiple barriers in industry design, technology, and resources. Yasn New Energy has been deeply involved in the automotive aftermarket for many years, using practices such as vehicle dismantling and skill competitions to address industry pain points. Together with industry peers, Yasn is exploring solutions to overcome repair challenges and reshape the new energy vehicle industry’s ecosystem.

1. Intertwined Pain Points: Core Difficulties in New Energy Vehicle Repairs

1.1 B-End: Struggling Stores, Dual Limitations of Technology and Resources

• High Technical Barriers, Huge Talent Shortage: New energy vehicles have abandoned traditional mechanical structures, shifting to a core framework of “three electric systems + intelligent electronic control.” Features such as electromechanics integration, software encryption, and data closed loops make it difficult for traditional auto repair technicians to get started. Only 2%-3% of companies nationwide possess the capability to repair the three electric systems, and there are fewer than 100,000 certified professional repair technicians, leaving a talent gap of over 840,000. Most stores can only handle basic services like tires and bodywork, with a severe lack of core repair capabilities.

• High Repair Costs, Narrow Profit Margins: Dedicated diagnostic equipment and repair tools for new energy vehicles are expensive, and the costs for training and compliance continue to rise. However, repair prices are controlled by car manufacturers, leaving limited room for price markups. Many stores invest significant funds to transform their businesses but are unable to secure core repair tasks, leading to slim profits and even forcing some to exit the market due to operational difficulties.

1.2 C-End: Car Owners Struggling with Anxiety, Spending Time and Money, Still “Hurting Their Wallets”

• Limited Repair Channels, "Difficult Repairs, Long Waiting Times": There are few stores with new energy vehicle repair qualifications, so most car owners have to go to brand 4S dealerships. These dealerships are not only far away and have long wait times but also often use the “small issue, big repair” tactic. For some niche brands and discontinued models, there may be no repair shops available at all. After a vehicle breaks down, it may remain idle for long periods, leaving owners with no way to protect their rights.

• Difficult Fault Diagnosis, "Invisible Faults": New energy vehicles frequently experience unusual faults like black screens, sudden drops in battery range, and inexplicable breakdowns. These faults are often hidden and hard to diagnose, making it difficult for ordinary repair shops to accurately identify the problem. Car owners often fall into a vicious cycle of “repeated repairs, recurring faults,” which wastes time and effort and increases the trust crisis surrounding new energy vehicles.

2. Deep Dive to Break Through: Practicing Solutions to Address Core Industry Challenges

As a core platform in the automotive aftermarket, Yasn New Energy has been actively involved since last year, pioneering efforts through practical initiatives like vehicle dismantling and skill competitions. These hands-on actions aim to break down information barriers within the industry, solve technical challenges, and cultivate professional talent, thereby laying a solid foundation for the industry with substantial practical experience.

2.1 Dismantling for Insights: Targeting Core Structures and Deconstructing the Underlying Repair Logic

In 2025, Yasn New Energy launched the "First Lesson in Vehicle Dismantling" for new energy vehicles, publicly dismantling several mainstream models step-by-step. From the internal structure of battery packs, motors, and electronic controls to the layout details of high-voltage circuits and intelligent chips, every aspect of the vehicle was openly showcased. The entire process, from assembly to disassembly, revealed the core structures and technical principles of new energy vehicles without any reservation.

This event broke the "black box" technology monopoly of automakers, enabling store owners and repair technicians to see firsthand the design logic of the three electric systems, high-frequency failure points, and key repair areas. It effectively put an end to theoretical discussions without practical insights. Through live dismantling and expert explanations, the event clarified the technical root causes of repair difficulties, provided troubleshooting guidance, and offered practical references for improving repair capabilities. The initiative has reached over 1,000 repair businesses and tens of thousands of industry professionals, earning recognition as the industry's "practical textbook."

2.2 Empowering Through Competitions: Promoting Learning, Cultivating Talent, and Setting Industry Repair Standards 

In 2026, Yasn New Energy (CINEVE), in collaboration with authoritative organizations like the China Equipment Management Association's New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Promotion Center, launched the China New Energy Vehicle Maintenance Training Institutions Skills Competition. This is the world’s first national skills competition focused on new energy vehicle repair training institutions.

The competition brought together 22 top repair training institutions from 11 provinces across China to compete in core areas such as three electric system diagnostics, battery-specific repairs, and full vehicle fault diagnosis. An expert judging panel composed of seasoned professionals from the China Automotive Center and the industry evaluated and scored the contestants, offering feedback, highlighting common repair mistakes, and sharing practical techniques.

Through the competition, Yasn New Energy has fostered learning, encouraged practical training, and uncovered top technical talent. The initiative has helped standardize repair practices, promoted technical exchanges and innovations, and contributed to the development of highly skilled, versatile repair professionals for the industry.

Major Announcement: Focusing on New Energy Vehicle Repair to Support Industry Development

From the in-depth vehicle dismantling sessions to the peak competition in skill contests, Yasn New Energy has always remained committed to the mission of "addressing pain points, solving problems, and empowering the industry." This year, we will focus on the "most difficult-to-repair new energy vehicles" as the central theme, addressing core pain points for both B-end and C-end sectors.

We will collaborate with new energy vehicle repair training institutions across various provinces in China, as well as repair institutions in countries like the Philippines, Finland, and Brazil. By integrating resources from the repair parts, professional tools, and repair technologies ecosystems, we aim to connect repair shops, training institutions, and parts and tool manufacturers.

Our goal is to create a one-stop ecological closed loop, combining training, tools, parts, and repair scenarios, to comprehensively tackle the challenges faced by the new energy vehicle repair industry, including "difficult repairs, high repair costs, parts shortages, and a lack of professional talent." This initiative will contribute to the long-term, healthy development of the industry and an overall upgrade of the industry ecosystem.

Focus on the Development of Yasn New Energy(CINEVE), Turning Every "Challenge" into the "Most Exciting" Starting Point. Stay tuned to Yasn New Energy as we dive deep into the blue ocean of new energy vehicle repairs, building the value of the automotive aftermarket for new energy vehicles together.
