Bay Ledger £149 a year · UK independent garages
EV competence & calibration records

When your insurer asks who is EV‑qualified, how long does it take you to prove it?

Bay Ledger keeps technician qualifications, equipment calibration dates and high‑voltage isolation records in one place — and prints the evidence pack when somebody asks for it.

Why this landed on your desk in 2026

Three things changed at once, and all of them end with somebody asking you for paperwork.

Insurance

Garages are being warned they risk being refused cover without EV‑trained technicians on site.

Autotech Training, via Motor Transport
~20%

of UK vehicle technicians are trained to work on electric vehicles. The IMI calls 2026 a crossroads for the skills gap.

DVSA equipment requirements tightened, alongside MOT photo evidence and annual tester assessments.

DVSA

Three registers, one place

Who is qualified

Every technician, every qualification, every expiry date — IMI EV levels, TechSafe, MOT tester assessments, F‑Gas, first aid. Certificate numbers alongside them.

What is in calibration

Brake testers, gas analysers, smoke meters, headlamp beam testers, torque wrenches, HV insulation testers. Set the interval once and the next date works itself out.

What was isolated

A dated record of every high‑voltage vehicle isolated — registration, who did it, the method used, and whether it was proved dead before work started.

One button prints the pack

When the insurer, the assessor or a main dealer asks what your people are qualified to do, you print one PDF instead of going through a drawer.

  • Every qualification with its status, dated the day you print it
  • Calibration records with certificate numbers and next-due dates
  • The full high-voltage isolation log
  • Prints straight to PDF from your browser

What it is not

It is not a compliance guarantee.
It records what you enter and does not verify your certificates. It is the filing cabinet, organised — the pack says so in print.
It is not training.
It does not qualify anybody. It keeps track of the qualifications your people already hold.
It is not garage management software.
It does not do jobs, invoicing or VHC, and it does not try to replace TechMan, Garage Hive or MAM. It sits alongside them.
It is not a legal requirement.
No rule says you must own this. It makes producing the records a two-minute job instead of an afternoon.
£149
per garage, per year
  • Unlimited technicians, equipment and isolation records
  • Updates as DVSA and IMI requirements change
  • Email support, answered by a person, usually same day
  • Stop paying and it stays readable — you keep printing your records

Your records stay on your own machine

There is no account to create and no password to forget. Everything you type stays in your own browser, on your own computer — it is never uploaded, and there is no copy of your technicians' details sitting on somebody else's server.

That is also why it costs £149 a year and not £50 a month.
