Overseas After - sales Service Stores for New Energy Vehicles
In recent years, the global new energy vehicle industry has boomed with a rapidly rising market penetration rate. Thanks to increased environmental awareness, policy support, and tech progress, new energy vehicles, with their green, efficient, and intelligent features, are gradually replacing traditional fuel - powered ones and winning consumers' favor.
However, as new energy vehicle sales soar, after - sales service problems have emerged. Their distinct technical principles and structures demand more professional and targeted after - sales service. Currently, the overseas after - sales system for new energy vehicles is still flawed. Problems like a lack of professional maintenance staff, insufficient equipment and accessory supply, and backward maintenance technology seriously harm user experience and impede the industry's overseas development. Also, with the growing number of overseas new energy vehicles, consumers expect better - timed, higher - quality, and more convenient after - sales service. Thus, establishing a complete and efficient overseas after - sales service system is urgent.
As the world's largest new energy vehicle market, China has amassed rich after - sales experience. Many domestic firms have innovated, improved the service network, and enhanced quality, forming a mature model. A systematic training system for maintenance staff, an efficient supply chain for equipment and accessories, and remarkable achievements in maintenance technology research and application have been established. Given the overseas market's urgent need and China's experience, we aim to promote these successes overseas, assist overseas customers in setting up professional and efficient after - sales service stores, and boost the healthy development of the global new energy vehicle industry.
1. Service Types
(1). New Energy and Fuel Vehicle Repair and Maintenance Services
New energy vehicle daily maintenance includes battery pack inspection (appearance, capacity, etc.), motor and electronic control system checks (motor casing, connections, cleanliness, heat dissipation), and braking and chassis system maintenance (brake wear, line leaks, chassis tightness, shock absorber condition).
For the battery system, check for external defects like bulges and perform capacity - related operations; for the motor, examine the casing, components, and wires; for the electronic control system, keep it clean and check cooling.
In the braking system, focus on wear and leaks while coordinating the energy recovery system, and in the chassis system, check component tightness and the condition of shock absorbers, springs, and connecting rods.
