Module 01
Network signal
Customers see a shop that joined something real.
Your local name stays intact. Powered by EG adds the visible EV-service signal, launch materials, and standards customers can understand.
For independent shop owners
Stop sending EV jobs two towns over.
Join a shop network built for the first hard EV job: training, bay standards, parts access, launch support, and an EG operator backstop while your ICE work keeps paying the bills.
Fit conversation first · real operator review · no whole-shop rebrand
The revenue leak
EV demand is already moving around unprepared shops.
Owners do not need a speech about the future. They need to stop watching high-value diagnostics, battery work, and EV parts tickets leave the market because their team has no safe path to say yes.

The network answer
Powered by EG gives the shop a way to say yes.
The license is built around the shop owner’s real constraint: EV demand is showing up before most teams have the training, tools, parts path, and confidence to quote the work safely.
Module 02
Training path
Techs progress through a defined high-voltage ladder.
AutoUpskilled gives licensees a structured Level 1 and Level 2 path instead of scattered online videos and uneven shop-floor judgment.
Module 03
Bay standards
The first EV bay gets built from a checklist.
Lift, PPE, isolation, diagnostics, battery handling, and incident response get scoped before the first customer makes the hard ask.
Module 04
Operator backstop
Hard jobs do not leave your team alone.
The EG flagship operator team stays close through reviews, escalation logic, and practical guidance after the launch excitement wears off.
Dual-capability floor
Gas work stays alive. EV gets a lane.
Built for gas-shop roots
You do not abandon the work that built the shop.
The strongest pitch to a serious owner is restraint. Powered by EG adds EV capability beside the existing business, so the first EV bay becomes an expansion lane instead of an identity crisis.
- Existing bays
- Keep earning
- EV lane
- Add one
- First tech path
- Train with sequence
- Customer proof
- Show the network
Alignment, suspension, brakes, diagnostics, performance, and fleet work do not stop.
Start with a controlled EV-ready bay instead of trying to convert the whole shop at once.
Level 1, Level 2, then deeper tracks when the market and staffing justify it.
Powered by EG gives customers a reason to trust the new EV offer beside your local name.
Inside the four walls
The shop does not need to become unrecognizable.
EV service is a controlled bay buildout, not a second location. The decision gets easier when the owner can see exactly what stays familiar and what has to get disciplined.
What stays the same
- Your ICE work, customer list, schedule, DMS, accounting, and local shop identity.
- Most existing lifts rated for modern mid-duty service, plus alignment, tire, a/c, and general tools.
- The owner judgment that already makes the shop trusted in its market.
What changes
- One EV service bay with hazard signage, a defined isolation area, and lockout/tagout discipline.
- PPE, insulated gloves, CAT III/IV metering, insulation testing, diagnostics, and battery-handling basics.
- A documented emergency response plan, high-voltage intake rules, and two certified technicians.
16-17 weeks to launch, then first 90 days
The first hard EV job is not where the process starts.
The launch path is designed to reduce the owner’s biggest fear: buying tools, training one tech, and still improvising when a real high-voltage job rolls in.
Capital reality
The owner needs the math before the meeting.
The investment conversation starts with the real line items: onboarding, monthly license, equipment gaps, parts access, and the first trained Level 2 path. One EV bay can matter without asking the shop to bet the whole business.
Initial onboarding
$40K
First Level 2 path, systems setup, brand kit, launch campaign, and 90-day support.
Monthly license
$3K/mo
Network standards, operating support, account reviews, and the ongoing program layer.
Equipment / infrastructure
$47K-$143K
Gap-based range for lifts, diagnostics, PPE, HV safety, and first EV bay readiness.
Onboarding to launch
16-17 wks
Assessment, equipment, training, systems, brand setup, and go-live sequence.
Required tech path
1 L2
At least one active Level 2 technician is required to operate the EV lane.
Parts motion
EV Tuning
Wholesale account setup keeps more estimates from stalling on sourcing.
What changes the math
- Keep existing ICE work live while the EV bay ramps.
- Start with one bay instead of overbuilding for a market that still needs proof.
- Use parts access to quote with more confidence and fewer dead-end estimates.
- Review the first jobs with operators before bad habits become shop policy.
The backstop
The relationship is what makes the license different.
When the first ugly diagnostic comes in, the owner does not need a PDF. They need standards, escalation logic, and a real operator team close enough to keep the shop from guessing.
- Operator depth
- 24+ years of combined Tesla-heavy service experience across the founding shop operators.
- Audience reach
- 1.7M Rich Rebuilds subscribers create awareness the network can convert locally.
- Flagship proof
- 2 flagship service markets prove the work before it becomes a licensed-shop playbook.
- Repair philosophy
- Component-level repair, smarter parts sourcing, and fewer default pack-swap assumptions.
Objections
Serious owners hesitate for good reasons.
You should see the friction clearly before you spend money, protect technician time, or put your name on EV work.
Objection 01Status quo
I am a gas shop. That is still the business.
Good. Powered by EG is not a replacement for the work that pays the bills. It is a controlled EV lane beside the existing operation.
Objection 02Capital
EV work feels expensive to enter.
It is capital-intensive, which is why the page shows ranges instead of pretending the investment is trivial. The point is to reduce wasted spend and bad process risk.
Objection 03Market gap
Dealers already have this locked up.
Dealers are not set up to be the only answer for every aging EV, parts estimate, diagnostic, and component-level repair. Independent shops need a credible way in.
