The Electrical Vehicles Fleet landscape for commercial use is changing fast. As EVs gain ground across Canada, forward-thinking businesses are starting to ask: How do we maintain EVs at scale?
At NFS Auto Repair, we’re already preparing to meet that demand. While gas and diesel-powered fleets still dominate the roads in Northern Ontario, the shift to electric is happening, and we’re making sure our clients are ready for it.
Whether you’ve already added EVs to your lineup or are just starting to plan, this guide breaks down what EV fleet maintenance looks like and how NFS is evolving to support the future of fleet maintenance solutions in Greater Sudbury.
Why EV Fleet Maintenance Is a Different Ball Game
EVs might have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, but that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free. Fleet managers still need to monitor:
-
Brake systems (especially with regenerative braking wear)
-
Suspension and steering components
-
Battery health and charging systems
-
Cooling systems for battery packs
-
Tires and alignment (EVs are often heavier and harder on tires)
And because EVs are newer to many commercial operations, in-house teams and general repair shops may not yet have the tools or training to properly support them.
The Challenge: Where Do You Go for EV Fleet Service?
We’ve heard it from business owners across the region:
“I can’t find a shop that understands EVs, and I don’t want to send vehicles out of town for service.”
“We need a partner who’s ahead of the curve, not playing catch-up.”
At NFS, we get it. While we’re not yet a certified EV repair shop for high-voltage diagnostics, we are actively training our team, updating our tooling, and working toward the certifications needed to become the go-to EV repair shop near you for both general and advanced service.
