With the rise of electromobility (EV), the garage equipment requirements for automotive workshops are radically changing. Electric vehicles differ from combustion-engine cars primarily in their significantly higher weight (often exceeding 2.5 t) and a different center of gravity distribution due to the battery packs, which are situated very low and cover most of the underbody platform. The use of standard jacks and car lifts reaches its limits here – there is not only a risk of the vehicle becoming unstable on the arms, but primarily the risk of fatal damage to the expensive battery pack in the event of incorrect support.

When choosing the best car lift for electric vehicles (EVs), safety and battery protection are paramount. For the safe and efficient servicing of EVs and to answer the question of how to properly lift an electric vehicle, hydraulic lifts with superior lifting capacity and a specialized design (such as our AMI 4.5 EVO model) are essential. Crucial is the use of specialized height-adjustable vulcanized lifting pads of various shapes and double-jointed arms that allow for perfect and safe reach of the vehicle's lifting points without the arms making contact with the battery housing. By doing this, you protect not only the safety of your mechanics but also the property of your customer.
