CINEVE | New Energy Maintenance Chain 'Break' Crisis: 4 Major Industry Dilemmas Exposed by 55 Subcategories

Apr. 07, 2026

The rapid growth of the new energy vehicle market has brought the after-market maintenance sector into a trillion-dollar opportunity. According to industry data, the domestic number of new energy vehicles has surpassed 30 million, and the demand for maintenance of the three core components (battery, motor, and electronic control) is experiencing explosive growth.


However, in stark contrast, the maturity of the new energy three-core component maintenance industry is far behind the market demand. From battery pack testing, motor winding repair, to electronic control module debugging, this seemingly booming sector hides numerous challenges that trouble maintenance companies. These challenges have become the biggest obstacles to the industry's large-scale and standardized development.


As a key player in the new energy three-core component maintenance field, Yasn New Energy has outlined the practical pain points across more than 50 sub-categories within the battery, motor, and electronic control sectors. We have discovered that it's not that maintenance companies don't want to do better, but rather the "tough nuts" within the industry chain are making it difficult for many practitioners to progress. Today, let’s dive into the issues that are hindering the maturity of the new energy maintenance chain.


CINEVE | New Energy Maintenance Chain 'Break' Crisis: 4 Major Industry Dilemmas Exposed by 55 Subcategories


Pain Point 1: High Technical Barriers and Severe Gaps in Professional Equipment


The core of new energy three-core component maintenance is "accurate diagnosis and professional repair." However, from the perspective of actual demand in the industry, the "gap in equipment" is particularly prominent.


Basic diagnostic tools like digital multimeters and oscilloscopes are commonly available in most maintenance companies. But the specialized diagnostic equipment, which truly determines the maintenance capability, has become a widespread "weak link" in the industry. For example, battery maintenance requires BMS upper computers and comprehensive three-core component testers, motor maintenance requires on-site dynamic balancing machines and motor test benches, and electronic control maintenance requires MCU/VCU test benches and IGBT/MOS testers... These pieces of equipment are not only highly technical, but also come with high operational barriers.


What’s even more realistic is that such specialized equipment comes at a hefty price. Based on our frontline research, a single set of comprehensive three-core component testing equipment costs over 100,000 RMB. For small and medium-sized maintenance companies, the one-time cost pressure is immense.


This has led to more than 80% of maintenance companies in the market only being able to stay at the "basic testing and simple repair" stage. When faced with complex issues such as battery pack failures, motor permanent magnet damage, and electronic control module burnouts, these companies are completely unable to handle them, ultimately losing customers.


Pain Point 2: Clear Gaps in the Maintenance Chain, Difficulty in Closing the Loop on Product Categories


New energy three-core component maintenance is a tightly interconnected system project, involving equipment tools, maintenance consumables, and core replacement parts. Any missing link in the chain will cause the maintenance process to fail in closing the loop.


When we look at the subcategories of three-core component maintenance, it’s easy to see the complexity. Battery maintenance requires specialized tools such as insulated wrench sets and battery equalizers, along with consumables like lead-free solder wire, battery pack sealant, and components like IGBT modules and battery temperature sensors. Motor maintenance involves core parts like stator windings and gearbox gears, as well as essential materials like airtightness testers and synthetic lithium-based lubricating grease. Electronic control maintenance, on the other hand, demands a wide range of power devices, connectors, wiring harnesses, and testing consumables.


However, in the actual market, the norm is "hard-to-find parts, hard-to-source equipment, and incompatible consumables." Many maintenance companies need to search the entire market just to find a suitable fluororubber O-ring, and some can’t even find a proper channel to purchase a rotary transformer sensor. In fact, there are very few suppliers nationwide for certain specialized maintenance tools. 


What’s even more critical is that most companies can only handle a single section of maintenance—either battery, motor, or electronic control—lacking the capability for integrated repair across all three areas. This means they are unable to provide customers with a one-stop solution, keeping the industry in a "fragmented and disjointed" state.


Pain Point 3: Lack of Industry Standards, Inconsistent Maintenance Quality


Unlike the mature system of traditional internal combustion engine vehicle maintenance, the new energy three-core component maintenance industry is still in the "lack of unified standards, no standardized processes, and no quality assessment" stage. This is one of the core issues hindering the industry's maturity.


From the equipment side, similar diagnostic devices lack unified technical standards. For example, battery diagnostic tools from different brands do not share data or have poor compatibility, meaning maintenance companies have to relearn how to operate every time they switch to a new device.


From the maintenance process perspective, key steps such as battery pack disassembly, motor winding repair, and electronic control module reprogramming lack industry-standard operating procedures, leading to wildly varying repair methods across different companies.


As for quality control, there are no clear standards on how to assess the quality of a repaired three-core system or ensure its longevity after the repair.


The lack of standards directly results in inconsistent maintenance quality: some companies find that repaired battery packs leak or suffer insulation failures shortly after, while others face motor noise or insufficient power after repair.


Over time, this undermines consumer trust in new energy maintenance services, and we even see the phenomenon of “replacing rather than repairing” or “preferring the 4S shop over third-party services,” which has left the entire third-party maintenance market in a passive position.


Pain Point 4: High Cost Pressure, Struggling Survival for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises


For small and medium-sized maintenance companies, the main force in the new energy maintenance industry, the constant pressure of costs has been squeezing their space for survival.


In addition to the initial investment in specialized equipment, ongoing expenses such as equipment upgrades, technology updates, and staff training continue to add financial strain.


The rapid pace of technological innovation in new energy vehicles means that the three-core component systems are constantly evolving. Corresponding maintenance equipment also needs to be updated regularly, with core equipment generally needing to be replaced every 2-3 years. For small and medium-sized enterprises with limited funding, this only adds to the burden.


Moreover, three-core component maintenance requires highly specialized technical personnel. Talented workers who are proficient in battery, motor, and electronic control systems are rare. To cultivate a qualified technician, companies need to invest substantial training costs and allow for a long period of hands-on practice.


The price fluctuations of consumables and components, combined with opaque supply channels, make it difficult for companies to control operating costs. On one hand, they face soaring operational costs, and on the other, fierce market competition has driven repair prices down. As a result, many small and medium-sized maintenance companies are trapped in a vicious cycle of "not making money, losing employees, and unable to scale up."


Unlike the mature system of traditional internal combustion engine vehicle maintenance, the new energy three-core component maintenance industry is still in the "lack of unified standards, no standardized processes, and no quality assessment" stage. This is one of the core issues that continues to hinder the industry's maturity.


Industry Pain Points Are Also Business Opportunities! Solving the Dilemma Requires Full Ecosystem Support


It’s not difficult to see that the pain points in the new energy three-core component maintenance industry are problems that no single company can resolve on its own. Rather, they arise from the lack of a complete ecosystem, professional resource integration, and standardized system construction within the industry.
