Frequently asked questions

The outlet requires between 500 and 1,000 square feet on a high-street or commercial corridor. The space must be divided into a customer-facing display and consultation area and a separate, functional service bay zone. Stable three-phase electrical supply is essential for charging infrastructure and diagnostic equipment operation. Franchisees in locations with unreliable power supply should factor backup electrical systems into their setup budget before operations begin.

The franchise includes proprietary diagnostic hardware for interfacing with Kusalava vehicle systems, access to the job management platform, and the brand authorisation documentation required for warranty processing. Standard workshop equipment — vehicle lifts, charging stations, workbenches, and hand tools — is sourced by the franchisee, typically through brand-approved vendors or independently, with specifications confirmed during the franchise setup process.

The training program covers EV-specific technical competencies: battery management system diagnostics, BLDC motor fault identification, high-voltage safety procedures, and the use of brand diagnostic tools. The program is structured for candidates who may come from petrol-vehicle or general electrical backgrounds and need to develop EV-specific diagnostic habits. Ongoing training is provided as product specifications and software systems evolve across the model range.

A qualified service manager can handle daily scheduling, technician supervision, and job card management. However, the franchisees in the Kusalava network who generate the highest throughput are those with direct owner involvement in customer relationships and fleet development. A hired manager maintains operations; the fleet contracts and AMC enrolment rates that drive consistent monthly revenue are typically built by the franchisee owner through direct engagement. Passive ownership tends to underperform relative to the model's financial potential.

Kusalava provides franchisees with marketing materials, brand assets, and network-level visibility that establish credibility when approaching fleet operators and institutional buyers. The franchisor's track record across fifty-plus units also provides reference points that a new outlet can cite in conversations with procurement managers. Converting that credibility into signed fleet contracts requires the franchisee to lead local outreach directly — identifying logistics operators, delivery companies, and corporate campuses in the territory and making the operational case for a service partnership.
