Security in Electric Vehicle Services: A New Era with Hikvision Thermal Cameras

The Thermal Camera Revolution in Electric Vehicle Repair Shops

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) requires automotive repair shops to keep pace with technology. High-voltage batteries, complex electronic systems, and fast-charging infrastructure bring new safety standards to maintenance and repair processes. In this regard, thermal cameras increase both safety and efficiency by detecting potential malfunctions early.

Why Thermal Cameras?

Electric vehicle batteries can overheat due to reasons such as improper charging, cell failure, or cooling problems. This can lead to serious hazards, especially the risk of fire. Thermal cameras enable preventive maintenance by instantly detecting temperature changes invisible to the naked eye. Additionally, abnormalities in engine control units, inverters, and charging stations can be detected early through thermal imaging.
