Before new energy vehicles enter a dealer network, the workshop must first have safe isolation, staff authorization, diagnostic documentation and incident response capability in place. For dealers, the precondition for releasing the first batch of vehicles is that workstation acceptance and staff authorization are complete; the order arrival time should not be earlier than the completion of safety capability preparation. The relevant document of the Official Journal of Algeria is used to re-check the public regulatory background, and the import documentation portal of the Algerian Ministry of Commerce is used to understand the import document process. Specific occupational safety and repair requirements should still be confirmed by qualified local bodies.
First Define Which Vehicles May Enter the High-Voltage Workstation
Identify the VIN, powertrain type, fault status and collision or water-ingress risk when receiving the vehicle. Vehicles with suspected high-voltage abnormalities should be placed in an isolation zone with warnings; normal maintenance vehicles should not occupy the high-voltage area. The workstation manager decides whether to de-energize, tow or request manufacturer technical support.
Authorize Personnel by Task Level
Service advisors are responsible for identifying risks and prohibiting vehicle start-up, basic technicians complete inspections within the defined scope, and high-voltage technicians perform de-energizing, voltage verification and component repair. Each level must have training records, an allowed-operations list and refresher milestones; equipment being in place alone does not mean the dealership is capable.
The BYD Song L DM-i can be used to set up a PHEV vehicle-receiving scenario; actual high-voltage operations must follow the repair documentation corresponding to the delivered VIN.
Workstation Acceptance Focuses on Executable Actions
| Acceptance item | On-site demonstration | Restriction when not passed |
|---|---|---|
| Isolation and signage | Zoning, warnings and personnel control | No acceptance of vehicles with high-voltage abnormalities |
| Protection and tools | Check validity status and storage | Suspend related operations |
| De-energizing and voltage verification | Complete the simulated process per the manual | Basic inspections only |
| Emergency response | Drill incident reporting and rescue contact | Re-verify after corrective actions |
Release the First Batch in Step with Repair Capability
The purchase contract should include repair documentation, diagnostic access, special tools, spare parts and technical response. If the dealership cannot obtain the manual corresponding to the VIN, staff authorization is incomplete, or accident vehicles have no isolation path, do not expand the first new energy batch ahead of schedule. The sales plan should follow the pace of safety capability building.
FAQ
Do insulated tools alone allow starting high-voltage repairs?
No. Qualified personnel, an authorization process, vehicle documentation, an isolation area and emergency arrangements are also required.
Do all PHEV faults need to enter the high-voltage workstation?
No. First triage by fault and safety status; only enter the authorization process when the high-voltage system is involved.
Who should manage diagnostic accounts?
The dealership designates a responsible person to manage permissions, usage records and personnel changes, avoiding shared accounts that lose traceability.
What situations require pausing delivery?
When a high-voltage safety alert is not cleared, repair documentation is missing, or the dealership cannot provide incident response, pause delivery of the affected vehicles.
