Wear items
Filters, wiper components, brake service items and other scheduled-maintenance parts are usually the simplest starting point when matched to the correct vehicle.
WORKSHOP STOCK GUIDE
Chinese EV parts.
Stock smarter first.
A practical way for workshops and distributors in Latin America to build an initial stock of Chinese EV replacement parts without buying blind.
BUILD A USEFUL FIRST STOCK
Begin with parts that keep routine repairs moving.
Every workshop has a different vehicle mix, so there is no universal stock list. A good first selection follows the models already appearing in your service bays, then combines regularly replaced items with parts that commonly delay a repair when they are unavailable.
FOUR PRACTICAL GROUPS
Organize by service need, not by a huge catalogue.
Lighting and exterior
Lamps, mirrors, trim, clips and exterior hardware can help resolve minor collision and replacement jobs without long waiting times.
Electrical service parts
Sensors, cameras, switches, harnesses and connectors should be ordered against the OE reference, since configuration differences matter.
High-voltage components
Battery, charging and high-voltage parts need trained diagnosis, documented handling and exact fitment review before any order or installation.
HOW TO AVOID DEAD STOCK
Use your repair history as the purchasing plan.
- Group by model: keep each part list tied to a specific vehicle family.
- Record OE references: do not rely only on a generic part description.
- Start shallow: test a small number of fast-moving references before expanding quantities.
- Review monthly: replenish what your workshop actually uses and remove poor-fit assumptions.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Keep the first order practical.
Should a workshop stock high-voltage batteries first?
Usually not as a general first step. High-voltage components require exact technical review, safe handling and demand that is specific to the vehicles you service.
Can I choose stock by model name alone?
No. The model, market, build date and OE number should be checked, especially for electrical, charging, lighting and body parts.
What should I send for a stock quotation?
Send the brands and models you service, target quantities, OE references where available, and the destination country. This makes the first list more useful.
