Customer review:

Bought this MSULTRA EV several months ago. Here is the latest update about this machine as an automotive professional.

I've had the opportunity to work with various diagnostic tools, but my recent experience with the Autel ULTRAEV has been nothing short of remarkable. Here's a comparative review based on its performance against the Autel MS ULTRA, MS919, and LAUNCH X431 PAD VII Elite.

**Interface and Ease of Use**:

The Autel ULTRAEV stands out with its user-friendly interface. Compared to the MSULTRA and MS919, its touch screen responsiveness and intuitive layout make navigation a breeze. While the LAUNCH PAD VII Elite is commendable for its features, the ULTRAEV takes the lead in terms of user experience.

**Functionality and Versatility**:

The ULTRAEV is incredibly versatile, offering a broad range of functions that surpass the MS919 and even the advanced MSULTRA. Its ability to efficiently diagnose and handle electric vehicle systems is exceptional, making it a more suitable choice for modern workshops focusing on EVs.

**Speed and Efficiency**:

In terms of speed, the ULTRAEV is a clear winner. It outperforms the MS919 and is on par with the MSULTRA. However, when compared to the LAUNCH X431 PAD VII, the ULTRAEV shows superior efficiency in running diagnostics and implementing fixes.

**Vehicle Coverage and Updates**:

The ULTRAEV boasts extensive vehicle coverage, with frequent updates that keep it ahead of the MS919 and even the MSULTRA in some aspects. Its coverage of electric vehicles is especially noteworthy, offering more in-depth functionality than the X431 PAD VII Elite.

**Value for Money**:

While the MS919 and X431 PAD7 are excellent in their own right, the ULTRAEV offers the best value for money, especially for professionals dealing with a range of vehicles, including electric models. The investment in ULTRAEV is justified by its superior performance, broader vehicle coverage, and future-proof technology.

**Conclusion**:

The Autel ULTRAEV is a superior diagnostic tool that stands out in the competitive market. It excels in user experience, functionality, speed, and vehicle coverage, making it a top choice for automotive professionals, especially those focusing on EVs. If you're looking for a comprehensive, efficient, and user-friendly diagnostic tool, the Autel ULTRAEV should be at the top of your list.
