EV Diagnostics in Hillsboro, KS
The short answer
EV diagnostics finds out why an electric or hybrid vehicle is showing a warning, losing range or refusing to power up.
It matters because a message on the dash rarely names the part at fault. Maybe it is a hot August afternoon on I-135 and the car quietly drops into a low-power mode, or a cold morning when it will not shift into drive at all. We read every module, test the systems that reported a problem and find the actual cause here in Hillsboro, so you are not towing the car to a distant dealer for an answer. Bring it in, or we will come and get it.
Call or text (620) 416-0008. Describe the noise. We'll do the rest.
We answer texts the same day we get them.

We test before we replace, because that is where your money is saved. EV parts can be expensive, and the same warning message can come from half a dozen different causes. Testing first means you pay for the part that actually failed.
We read the whole car, not just the code. Every module gets checked, and we watch live battery and charging data, because a problem caught in the act tells us far more than a line of text on a screen.
We handle all of it once we know the cause. Moxie works on every EV and hybrid system, including high-voltage batteries, motors, inverters and charging, using safety procedures designed for high-voltage work. That goes for every make, Tesla included.
We look after EV owners across Marion, Harvey, McPherson, Chase and Lyon Counties, including Hesston and Newton, and you hear what it costs before any repair starts.

What EV diagnostics usually finds around here
- A weak 12-volt battery confusing the car's computers, which cold snaps are hard on
- A charging fault at the charge port, cable or onboard charger
- A high-voltage battery cell or module that has lost capacity
- A problem in the battery or motor cooling system, which works hardest in a Kansas summer
- A software fault in a control module that needs an update
- Corroded wiring or a loose connector on the underside of the car, where road salt, water and gravel get to it
How we diagnose an electric vehicle
- We read every module on the vehicle, not only the one that set the warning. EV faults often show up in one system while the cause sits in another.
- We look at live data, including battery cell voltages, temperatures and charging behavior, because a problem in motion tells us far more than a stored code.
- We test the 12-volt battery early. It powers the computers that switch the car on, and a weak one causes a surprising number of strange EV faults.
- We test suspect parts directly and follow high-voltage safety procedures throughout, rather than replacing parts on a guess.
- We explain what we found, what it will cost and what can wait before any repair starts.
What we scan and test
- Stored and pending codes in every control module
- High-voltage battery state of health, cell balance and temperature
- Onboard charger, charge port and charging behavior
- Battery and motor cooling systems
- The 12-volt battery and the system that keeps it charged
- Module software versions, where an update is the actual fix
What the repair usually is
- Replacing a weak or failed 12-volt battery
- Repairing a charge port, cable or onboard charger fault
- High-voltage battery or cooling system repair
- Updating or reprogramming a control module
- Repairing corroded wiring or a loose connector

EV diagnostics questions we hear every week
Can a regular shop diagnose an electric car?
A shop with the right diagnostic equipment and high-voltage training can, and that is exactly what we do in Hillsboro. A basic code reader is not enough for an EV, because the faults live in many different modules. We read all of them, look at live battery and charging data, and test the suspect part before recommending a repair.
Why does my EV say to service the vehicle but drive fine?
A service message on an EV often means a module has spotted something early, such as a weak 12-volt battery, a cooling issue or a charging fault. The car may drive normally for a while, but it is worth checking before it turns into a no-start. Text us a photo of the message and we will tell you how soon it should come in.
How much does EV diagnostics cost?
The cost depends on the fault and how much testing it takes to pin down, since an intermittent charging problem takes longer than a dead 12-volt battery. We tell you the diagnostic cost up front, then explain what we found and what the repair will cost before any work starts. Call or text the shop and describe what the car is doing.
