What catches my attention is that small EVs are included here. From a battery standpoint, servicing high-voltage systems needs dedicated qualifications and tools. I'm not talking sentiment, I'm talking numbers: the real bottleneck for EV adoption isn't sales, it's the maintenance network, and this quiet tie-up is a substantive step.

A wider maintenance network should mean shorter repair wait times for users too, which is nice.

Solidifying the maintenance network for leased vehicles is unglamorous but important work.
