NOBODY WANTED TO FIX EV | NOW I'M SELLING IT

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details a frustrating experience with their 2021 Seat Mii Electric, which suffered an electrical system fault leading to a zero state of charge. The primary issue stemmed from water ingress into the low-voltage wiring loom due to a manufacturing defect (a missing rubber bung), a known but unaddressed fault by Seat. This resulted in a costly repair, with the dealership quoting nearly £1000 for labor to diagnose and fix the wiring. The reviewer highlights a significant gap in the market for EV technicians, noting that even main dealerships are reluctant to work on EVs unless they have specialized technicians, despite the fault not being EV-specific. Ultimately, the car was fixed, and the reviewer is now selling it, opting to keep their Tesla Model Y for its practicality and cost savings. The review also touches on the broader issue of dealerships potentially delaying simple fixes to generate more revenue from complex repairs.
