EV Roadworthy Regulations in Victoria: Are Your Workshop and Equipment Ready?

Victoria’s automotive industry is adapting to the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) on Australian roads. With changes to vehicle safety requirements and roadworthy inspections, workshops need to understand how EVs differ from conventional vehicles and ensure they have the right equipment for safe and accurate testing.

For workshops carrying out roadworthy certificates in Victoria, understanding EV-specific inspection requirements is becoming increasingly important. Electric vehicles introduce high-voltage electrical systems, batteries and components that require different inspection, measurement and safety considerations compared with conventional petrol and diesel vehicles.

Prepare your workshop for the future of EV servicing.
