AI Invoice Analyzer
Decode your EV service invoice in plain English.
Your dealer invoice is the official record of your repair — but it's written in technician shorthand, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), and dense labour-line notation that most owners cannot fully read. Our AI Analyzer translates it into a clear, factual summary of what was documented, what's unresolved, and what to ask your service advisor next.
Whether your invoice covers a high-voltage battery fault, a charging system issue, a software update, or routine maintenance — and whether you drive a Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Tesla Model Y or Model 3, Chevrolet Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Rivian R1T, Nissan Leaf, Polestar 2, Porsche Taycan, Volkswagen ID.4, Jaguar I-PACE, Volvo EX30, BMW i4, or any other electric vehicle.
The problem
Why a service invoice is so hard to read.
When you pick up your EV from the dealership, you're handed an invoice that serves as the authoritative record of your visit. But these documents are rarely written for the owner. They contain:
- DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) — alphanumeric codes like P0A1F-93 or U3000-04 that require specialised knowledge to decipher.
- Technician notes — highly compressed descriptions of diagnostic steps, often referencing internal modules and connectors by code (BECM, PSCM, PSDB, C1YE05A, etc.).
- Part numbers and labour codes — itemised lists that show what was charged, but not always why a component failed or whether the repair is finished.
- Sublet vendors, deferred work, advisory notes — easy to miss in dense multi-page invoices.
Without a technical background, it's incredibly hard to tell whether the technician actually resolved the complaint you brought the vehicle in for — or whether something was deferred, left open, or noted as "next service recommended."
How it works
Four steps. About 90 seconds.
- 1. Upload your invoice. Securely upload a PDF or clear photo of your dealership service invoice to your private EV Risk Index Vault. Supporting photos and dashboard warning screenshots welcome.
- 2. AI extraction and translation. The Analyzer reads the document, extracts documented facts, DTC codes, part numbers, and technician observations, then translates the dense shorthand into clear, plain-English statements of what was recorded.
- 3. Discrepancy and ambiguity detection. The Analyzer flags whether key metadata (dealer name, service date, mileage) differs from what you entered, and notes if any DTC code or part number contains visually ambiguous characters from OCR.
- 4. Actionable owner next steps. You receive a customised list of procedural, record-gathering actions — what to ask your service advisor, what documentation to request, what to verify against your physical invoice.
Recall cross-reference. The Analyzer compares the language on your repair order — fault codes, part numbers, system names, technician notes — against the documented EV recall campaigns tracked on this site. If your repair description appears to overlap with an active recall, the Analyzer flags it so you can ask whether the work should have been covered. This is identification of a pattern, not a determination of legal liability.
Sample output

Were you charged for a repair that may have been recall-covered?
Some dealer invoices contain diagnostic fees, labour, software updates, or part-replacement charges that use language overlapping with an active recall campaign. That overlap does not automatically mean the dealer made a mistake — but it sometimes warrants a closer look.
The EV Risk Index Analyzer compares your invoice language — DTC codes, systems referenced, parts replaced, technician notes, and reported symptoms — against the EV recall campaigns documented on our site. If a possible overlap appears, the analysis flags it so you can ask the dealer or manufacturer whether the work should have been covered.
Can a dealer charge me for a repair that may be recall-related?
If your VIN qualifies for an active recall and the dealer is performing the covered remedy, the recall repair itself should generally be free. Diagnostic fees can be more complicated when part of the issue is not covered by the recall.
If the invoice uses language similar to the recall — same system, same symptom, same code, or same part — ask the dealer or manufacturer for a written explanation.
Can the Analyzer flag unexplained charges or repeated work?
Yes. The Analyzer can help surface unclear diagnostic fees, repeated visits for the same symptom, deferred work, ambiguous part numbers, or discrepancies between the owner's complaint and the work actually billed.
It does not conclude that any charge is illegal or abusive. It organizes the documents and prepares the questions to ask before paying, authorizing further work, or escalating.
Can I use the Analyzer before buying a used EV?
Yes. A service history can reveal repeated visits for the same problem, incomplete recall remedies, high-voltage repairs, frequent software updates, or important technician notes — all of which are worth seeing before a purchase.
Before buying a used EV, request the service invoices, check recalls by VIN, and use the Analyzer to prepare the questions to ask the seller or dealer.
What the Analyzer does not do
Our commitment to objectivity.
The Analyzer is built around strict guardrails. Knowing what it won't do is as important as knowing what it will.
The Analyzer's hard limits
- No legal conclusions. The Analyzer is an administrative document tool, not a lawyer. It will not interpret implied warranties, determine eligibility under consumer protection statutes, or recommend legal action.
- No mechanical diagnoses. The Analyzer is a document reader, not a technician. It will not invent a root cause, infer causal relationships that are not explicitly written on your invoice, or declare a vehicle safe or unsafe to drive.
- No accusations against your dealer. The Analyzer reports what your invoice documents. It does not characterise dealer conduct, infer intent, or use language that frames documented facts as wrongdoing.
- Strictly neutral tone. The Analyzer lets the documents speak for themselves. Output relies entirely on what is written on your original dealership invoice plus visual evidence from any supporting photos you upload.
- Mechanic consultation in every analysis. Every Analyzer output includes a recommendation to review the findings with an independent, EV-experienced mechanic you trust before authorising further repairs.

Refunds and data retention
What happens to your data, and your money.
Can I get a refund?
If you paid for an analysis but no invoices have been uploaded and no analysis has been processed on your account, request a refund and we'll return the full amount. Once an invoice has been uploaded or an analysis has been delivered, the paid amount is non-refundable — the service has been rendered.
How long do I have access to my analysis reports?
As long as your account is active. Your account remains active while you log in or purchase analyses within any 12-month window. After 12 months of inactivity, your data enters a structured retention lifecycle:
| Phase | Duration | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Active | While logged in or purchasing within 12 months | Full read, write, export |
| Grace | 6 months after 12 months of inactivity | Read-only export, free |
| Cold storage | 24 months following grace | Locked — reactivate by purchasing a new analysis |
| Deletion | After cold storage | Data permanently deleted |
What does "reactivate" mean?
If your account is in cold storage, you can reactivate it by purchasing a new analysis at any time. Reactivation immediately restores access to all your historical reports, source documents, and account history. There is no penalty fee or recovery charge — your data is right where you left it. After permanent deletion, data cannot be recovered.
Can I delete my data sooner?
Yes. You can request immediate deletion of your account and all stored data at any time by emailing privacy@evriskindex.com. We honor deletion requests within 30 days. Some records — transaction history and tax-required documentation — may be retained for the period required by applicable law.
