Thinkcar EV Diagnostics: Going Beyond Standard OBD Tools

Thinkcar EV Diagnostics: Going Beyond Standard OBD ToolsAt Thinkcar UK, one of the most common questions we get is:
“What does the EV Pack do differently from normal OBD diagnostics?”
It’s a great question — and the answer highlights why Thinkcar UK is leading the way in EV diagnostic innovation.

EV Diagnostics as Standard
Firstly, it’s important to clear something up.
All Thinkcar diagnostic tools already include full EV diagnostic and service capabilities as standard. You don’t need the EV Pack to service or diagnose models such as the Volkswagen ID.3, Tesla, or Nissan Leaf.
Even our standard diagnostic tools can:

• Read and clear fault codes across electric systems
• Perform essential service functions and resets
• View live data from drive motors, high-voltage control units, and charging systems

So whether you’re working on hybrids or fully electric vehicles, Thinkcar has you covered right out of the box.

What Makes the Thinkcar EV Pack Different?
Adding the Thinkcar EV Pack unlocks enhanced diagnostic depth for technicians who want to go further into EV analysis. This advanced software and hardware combination gives you access to high-voltage battery data, including individual cell monitoring and detailed charging/discharging performance.
With the EV Pack, you can:

• Analyse individual battery cells for state-of-health and voltage balance
• Monitor charge/discharge performance in real-time
• Test EV batteries outside the vehicle, allowing verification of repairs or standalone testing

This makes the EV Pack essential for workshops offering EV battery repair, reconditioning, or advanced performance assessments.

Which Tools Include the EV Pack?
Currently, the EV Pack comes as standard with the following models:

• Thinkcar 394
• Thinkcar 399

For those using our top-tier diagnostic tools — the Thinkcar Euro Max and Euro Master X2 — the EV Pack is available as an optional upgrade. This allows workshops to tailor their setup depending on the level of EV service they offer.
