Certification and qualified technicians
The rule texts found name no licence that an EV repairer must hold. What they do show is training: the government EV mechanic course runs for two years and asks for a valid LMV driving licence, and free self-paced EV certification courses exist. Ask the technician which course they completed and whether they hold a certificate for battery work.
Season, heat and water
India is hot for most of the year, and the wet season brings humidity and rain. Both stress batteries and wiring. After heavy rain, ask the technician to check for water in the battery area and at the charging port, and ask how the battery temperature is checked before any repair. October 2026 falls between the wet and dry seasons, so a check now is a sensible step.
Visits, parts and how it is quoted
Some providers offer a home visit, and listings mention a site-visit fee that is waived if you go ahead with the repair. Parts and labour are often quoted separately, and scooter parts start from about ₹350. Ask for the part price, the labour charge per job and whether GST applies, in rupees, before the work starts.
What to write in your request
Give the device type (scooter, bike or car), the model, the fault in plain words, whether the battery is affected, and how the damage happened. Add whether you need a home visit, your city and your deadline. Mention your budget. Technicians reply in the chat with a price, the parts they expect to change and the earliest date.
