EV dealer accreditation scheme hits 300 members and launches aftersales programme

23 February 2022  

The government- backed Electric Vehicle Approved (EVA) accreditation scheme, run by the NFDA for its franchised dealer membership, has reached 300 approved dealers and has launched a new Aftersales Pilot Group, focused on repairers only, to run alongside.

The scheme was put together in 2019 by the NFDA to encourage retailers to enhance their EV expertise. It is endorsed and subsidised by the government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and is independently audited by Energy Saving Trust.

The new Aftersales Pilot Group standards reflect the existing EVA framework, adapted to suit businesses who solely repair and service EVs.

NFDA Chief Executive Sue Robinson commented: “As the number of EVs on the road continues to increase, EV repairers will also need to be recognised and we are delighted to further expand the EVA scheme into aftersales”

She added: “We look forward to extending our collaboration with the government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and Energy Saving Trust, allowing EVA to continue to help electrifying transport.”
