If your electric car is due for its NCT, you’re in the right place. EV Repair Centre was created to make life easier for electric and hybrid drivers by offering specialist NCT preparation and servicing under one roof. With expert EV mechanics and the right equipment, we ensure your vehicle is fully roadworthy and ready to pass its test with confidence.
ust like petrol and diesel vehicles, hybrid and electric cars in Ireland must pass an NCT test every year once they are over three years old. While electric cars have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, they still experience wear and tear, which means regular safety checks are essential.
During an EV NCT inspection, many of the same areas are tested as in a standard combustion engine car, with the addition of specialist checks on the battery, charging system, and electric motor. For hybrids, the NCT combines both conventional and electric system checks, ensuring every part of the vehicle is safe and compliant.
To make sure your car passes first time, it’s important to choose a qualified EV mechanic at a dedicated electric car garage. At EV Repair Centre, we prepare your vehicle for the NCT quickly, professionally, and at a lower cost.
The main difference between an NCT for an electric car and one for a petrol or diesel car is that no emissions test is required. You also won’t need an oil change, though other fluids such as coolant may still need to be topped up. For hybrid vehicles, the NCT includes many of the same checks as a standard car, since they also have a combustion engine alongside the electric motor.
