In this episode, Alex from QCCharge explains the services they offer for repair options that Tesla does not, such as repairing battery packs instead of replacing them. In addition, he walks us through some of the custom tools they use for repairing them and shows the inner workings of a Tesla electric motor. Furthermore, he explains how they rebuild Tesla motors and improvement with drain equipment to prevent premature failure.
How much does it cost to replace a Tesla battery vs repairing them? Can you rebuild electric car motors? Get the answers in this video!

I can get a gas crate engine for $3 – 4k… lol
Toyota RAV4 and MB B class EVs? Never seen them on the road. Would be great if you feature the more popular EVs cause this is a great idea to inform people about the high cost of repair when things go wrong with EVs. Tks guys and keep up the good work.
I can tell you why a dealer would not repair a battery, especially a high mileage one. When 6 months go by and there is another bad cell in a different section(module) they are gonna expect it to be repaired for free under warranty. Its a good idea but if you have 4 failures over 2 years you could have had a complete new unit for the cost of 4 repaired sections and 12 original sections that are just waiting to fail. Have you run into issues like that and if so how do you address it?
Very nice. Thank-you for sharing your information. Will follow and share for sure. Good luck and keep making updates to videos!!
So this is the stuff the government wants to shove down people throats. 10k battery repair and 7k motor repair.
So if a module or 2 go bad what’s the likelihood of another one failing?
Non-conductive bearings ? How do you do that ?
The fact that you CAN repair batteries means that their engineers screwed up on the design. Expect that they're going to start building systems into each module to keep 3rd parties from repairing them to protect their high cost replacements. You only have to look as far as Apple or John Deere to see the mentality behind it.
The liability that comes with repairing those batteries is eye watering. Try proving that your work on someone's battery pack is not what burned their house down two months later.
And here was me thinking that electric vehicle never fail and the battery lasts forever…
Well that's what EV zealots keep saying.
