Porsche Told Us to Replace a £50,000 Battery… No Support?

Porsche told us this Porsche Macan Electric needed a £50,000 battery replacement… We weren’t convinced. After a crash, this car was completely dead — no drive, no communication, and hundreds of fault codes. The official answer? 👉 Replace the entire battery. But when we dug deeper, we found something shocking… 💥 A tiny pyro fuse inside the high-voltage battery had failed — a part so small, yet capable of disabling the entire car. So instead of accepting a £50,000 repair, we: Removed the full high-voltage battery Opened the sealed battery pack Tracked down the real fault And attempted a repair Porsche doesn’t support And what happened next… even surprised us. ⚠️ This video shows real high-voltage EV repair work. These systems are extremely dangerous and should only be handled by trained professionals. 🚗 What this video reveals: Why modern EVs get written off so easily The truth behind “replace, don’t repair” How one small component can shut down an entire vehicle The challenge of fixing next-gen electric cars 📍 Visit Us: OGS Mechanics Units 9–14, Millers Yard Rear of 28 Long Lane London N3 2QG 📺 Watch Our Repairs in Action: 📌 Subscribe on YouTube → Weekly EV/Hybrid breakdowns, fixes & full diagnostics #Porsche #ElectricVehicle #CarRepair Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.Sport Rock Energetic by Infraction [No Copyright Music] / Running Faster
