I am a huge fan of EVs. I truly believe this is the future for all types of transportation. I started Dala’s EV Repair in 2019 when I found out just how expensive lithium battery replacements were. I was also not pleased with the locked down ecosystems all carmakers have when it comes to battery replacements. This prevents third-party shops from fixing cars up for a low cost. Having only expensive battery replacements will scare off potential EV-adopters, and even make people treat cars with a bad battery as disposable! Dala’s EV Repair aims to correct this and even offer battery upgrades, which makes old EVs as desirable as new long range ones.
