1
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: Listeners want a naming of the car doctor. Our next

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: guest is no stranger to the car Doctor. We're always

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: excited to have him back, as well as all the

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: folks from Launch to launch scan tools. Haresh Gobin. He's

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: been here before, he'll be here again and it's always

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: a pleasure. Sir, Welcome back, Koresh. How are you today, Ron?

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Thank you for having me once again.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: We're great. You know what. We have great days, great weeks,

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: and we get the fixed cars every day, so things

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: are doing well.

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I hear you.

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: I want to talk at the end of this conversation.

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: I want to get into electric vehicles. And everybody out

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: there just went electric vehicles and scan tools. Yeah, but

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about scan tools

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: in the beginning, you know, I want to do it.

19
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: Let's do a quick review scan tools. Let's let's talk basics, right,

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: you know, what are they? What? What's the purpose of

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: a scan tool as we know it up to this

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: point in time.

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Well, let's let's stick a little history lessons, and

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: you remember in the nineteen seventies and eighties, I believe

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: there is the advent of the can can network on vehicles, right,

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: and that those were the early networks that housed engine

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: computer or transition computer and maybe ABS module was not

28
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: as complicated as they are today. So at that time,

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: with the advent of the after the carburetor days and

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: when cars went to we're coming towards fuel injection, the

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: OBD the OBED port came out and manufacturers all started

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: to implement an OBD port. So in the beginning, there

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: were there was no standardization. There was many different like

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: connectors and many different ports. Everyone was kind of doing

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: their own thing in terms of the manufacturers. As week

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: as the time went on, it was standardized to a

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: sixteen pin OBED port. So scan tools, a scan tool

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: can be a simple device that plugs in a handheld

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: device that plugs into that poor and basically identifies some

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: information from the vehicles can network such as trouble codes

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: or any kind of data. And that would be a

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: simple device, a simple scan tool device. Now and today

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: into most shops across America have something called an bidirectional

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: scan tool, and this would they're mostly aftermarket brands such

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: as ourselves and many other different brands out there, but

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: a bi directional scan tool is a little more capable

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: than that handheld DIY tool. So the bi directional scan

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: tool is going to be able to send information also

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: receive information back. So there are some functions that are

50
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: called special functions that they would be able to maybe

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: change the parameters of the lights, how long the lights

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: stay on after you close the door. That would be

53
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: considered a bi directional function. So with that said, the

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: more advanced scan tools, such as the birectional tools that

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: we're referring to, are in most shops, most master technicians

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: and most technicians today, they cannot survive in a shop

57
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: environment working on various makes and models of vehicles without

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: a bi directional scandal. That bi directional scan tool is

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: fully capable of identifying and the faults with very relevant

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: information such as live data, graphing, topology functions. Some of

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: the scantools even have database informatics resources that's linked up

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: in cross reference with the OEM databases in terms of

63
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: specifications of what that vehicle needs to be at, where

64
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: it needs to be at, and how it needs to

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: be running.

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: So suffice it to say, a scan tool is that

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: interface right, it's it's I want to talk to this car,

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: and this is the device it's going to do it.

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: It's going to go in, it's going to query all

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: the computers, all the modules that are on the data bus,

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: and it's going to come back to me with information,

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: a good clean bill of health or you know, we're

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: going to look at it in topology, which launch does, right.

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: You guys display If there's thirty eight computers in the vehicle,

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: you guys will display them all on a screen and

76
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: they'll change color. You know, the healthy ones are green,

77
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: the ones that have codes might be read or yellow,

78
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. It's an interface.

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, because it's very imperative and it's very critical. That's

80
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: a technician that's working on your vehicle knows in a

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: jiffy what your vehicle is equipped with, how many different modules,

82
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: what type of technology, So that way they're able to

83
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: plan their path of diagnostics to the particular complaint that

84
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: the car came in for and identify that their issue

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: accurately and concisely, and you know, get on the road

86
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: to repairing it.

87
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: You use the word before graphing. What do you mean

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: by I mean? I know what you mean, but I

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: want you to explain to the listeners what we know

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: graphing as a term. What does graphing mean? What's the

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: value of graphing versus looking at a digital number. Let's

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: say I'm working on a vehicle on I'm looking at

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: I'm looking at a throttle position sensor that works on

94
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: a zero to five volt scale, and as I accelerate,

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: I'll see that I'll see that digital number change from

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: zero point two point three point four and count all

97
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: the way up to five vaults if I'm going wide

98
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: open acceleration. What's the difference between looking at as a

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: digital number versus graphing. Is there an advantage to graphing

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: of value?

101
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Run Only the car doctor can ask such a

102
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: relevant question. You're putting me on the chopping block here,

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: but I'll try to answer it to the best say can. Okay,

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: So let's take another one more history of that's in

105
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: bad ten to fifteen years ago. If the car had

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: an issue that the technicians that were working on the

107
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: car mostly had the diagnostic trouble code, the code the

108
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: DTC fault to go off, and what was happening is

109
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: in the past there was a lot of parts swapping

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: going on. Let us talk about that TPS illustration you escaped.

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: So let's say that there was a TPS code. The

112
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: pathway to kind of addressing that in the past would

113
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: have been, Hey, let's call up our local parts guy

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: and let's get another TPS ensor and throw them in

115
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: here and you know, send the customer on the way.

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: So what started to happen is and you brought up

117
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: you I'll bring up I'll point out you brought up

118
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: a very good key where they're voltage. That TPS sensor

119
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: could have an intermittent fault that it couldnt have that

120
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the feel the sensor could have been

121
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: an electrical issue, right. So that's the value of graphics,

122
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: live data and graphs. They offer more real time insights

123
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: into what's happening with the vehicle that aids in the diagnostics.

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: If a voltage signals dropping out, the scan tool is

125
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: going to catch it and display it so that our

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: I can see. You know, one of the things people

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: don't realize is the human eye can only interpret so

128
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: many pieces of data a per second, whereas a scan

129
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: tool is much faster. And I've proven this, and I've

130
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: seen this proven time and time again. You'll you'll take

131
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: you'll take cases with a voltage measurement with a digital voltometer,

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: the best in the world, and it won't catch the glitch.

133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: But if you put a scan tool on that and

134
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 2: watch it, you'll see the glitch. By looking at the graph,

135
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: you'll see the signal drop out because the scan tool

136
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: is faster than your eye and absolutely and that catches it.

137
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: So you know, if we're going to graph, I get it,

138
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: and we want to graph. We want to look at

139
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: values that way. So is the physical size of a

140
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: scan tool a good init indicator of its ability to

141
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: graph and do all the other functions? You know, do

142
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: we want to buy a small scan tool a big

143
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: scan tool? How do we determine it? What are we

144
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: looking for?

145
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, it does matter because I'll refer back to

146
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: our launch x four thirty one professional scan tool line,

147
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: the flagship tool at the top of that mountain on

148
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: our line, our flagship scan tools the Throttle three, and

149
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: that has a thirteen point three inch screen. So that

150
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: would be like, you know, a paradise in terms of

151
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: like viewing the information for the technician on the screen,

152
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: so they'll be able to look at that those the

153
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: graph a lot more accurately and just just be a

154
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: little more comfortable in the analysis. At the same time,

155
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to graph. There are little handheld tools

156
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: with smaller discin smaller display screens out there that that

157
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: maybe they propagate that they're that scan tour or that

158
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: tool has ability to graph, But I would advise against

159
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: that because you know you won't be able to find

160
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: the right analysis on a smaller, smaller screen. It doesn't

161
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: have to be a thirteen point three inch screen. We

162
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: have other scan tools in our lines, in our diagnostic

163
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: line that is about six or seven inches, and that

164
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: also would suffice.

165
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: But suffice it to say that the scan tool we're

166
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: looking for, it's not so much to physical size, right,

167
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: We're looking for memory and processor speed and capability as well.

168
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, absolutely, refering back to our launch Throttle three,

169
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: our flagship tool for example, that has a memory that's

170
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: of a goliath, that's two hundred and fifty six gigabytes

171
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: of storage and eight gigabytes of memory. That's more than

172
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: enough to be efficient, you know, in connecting to the

173
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: equal and accurately pulling out the data for a data

174
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: analysis and live graph graphing.

175
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: Well because graphing with a tool with less memory or

176
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: slower memory or slower processor may not be as effective

177
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: as graphing with a tool that's got top of the

178
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: line memory and top of the line processor. Yep, I

179
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: get it, Hey, hare Esh, Yeah, you know, I want

180
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: to pull over and take a pause. When we come back,

181
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: I want to talk about electric vehicles in the marketplace

182
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: and how the need for scan tool was created as

183
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: a result, and I want to talk a little bit

184
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: about launching their first to market EV scan tool capability.

185
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: So sit tight. I'm running ending in the card doctor

186
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: or we're here with Harsh Cobn of Launch Lunch Diagnostics.

187
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 2: We'll both be back right after this. Don't go away

188
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: run the back rodin Indian cardoctor. I'm here with Haresh Gobin,

189
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: who's giving us a time today. We appreciated Harash Launch

190
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: scan tools, talking about you know, scan tools and doing

191
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of a deeper dive than we normally do.

192
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: When we pulled away for the pause, you know, I

193
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: mentioned that EV's in the marketplace electric vehicles. There is

194
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: now a demand and a necessity for an electric vehicle

195
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: scan tool, and Launch is first to market with this capability,

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: and I wanted to talk a little bit about it.

197
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to go into you know, I know, Harash,

198
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: that you've got you you've developed some tools, bench testing

199
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: tools where the batteries out of the vehicle and we're

200
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: going to test those components on the bench. I want

201
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: to talk about there's an EV add on kit that

202
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: you have that you've developed, and I want to talk

203
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: a little bit about what it took to develop that

204
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: and that worked specifically with the launch scan tools for

205
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: on the vehicle diagnostics. Am I saying that right?

206
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Right?

207
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: Is that a fair explanation?

208
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Absolutely, it's uh, we're referring it the product, referring

209
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: to the product as an EV add on kit for

210
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: the diagnostics cancel, the launch diagnostics cantol.

211
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: Right, and and that kit as as an interface allows

212
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: the technician to do what what sort of testing or

213
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: what things can he look at with that add on kit?

214
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: What's there to look at in an EV. You would

215
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: think it's just a giant battery in a computer, right.

216
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: Correct, But there's a lot of important information on the

217
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: EV that the ad on kit's going to be able

218
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: to give the technician. So they're going to be able

219
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: to identify battery pack information such as how many battery

220
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: packs are modules are in that vehicle, the state of

221
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: charge of the battery packs, the state of health of

222
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: the battery packs, the temperature which is very important single

223
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: cell voltage readings and on the temperature each cells, so

224
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: very very critical information to see if you have a

225
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: faulty battery which can be like a hazard. Right, this

226
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: is EV technology, is a new technology, so yeah, very

227
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: relevant information for the technician and shop.

228
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: I mean they had to the powers that be at Launch,

229
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: yourself and Harlan and you know, you guys all sat

230
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: down and talked about this. You know, it had to

231
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: be a major cash commitment, right, I mean to develop

232
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: this isn't something you just come up with overnight to

233
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: be able to work on evs. How long has this

234
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: program been in effect? And you know where do you

235
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: see it going? Is it growing? Is it going to

236
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: expand you think as the demand for EV's goes up.

237
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, winner philosophies here at Launches were very

238
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: ambitious and forward progressing in terms of we are ultimately

239
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: committed to the card through this. The automotive aftermarket, the

240
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: independent shops across America, So with that said, our R

241
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: and D campaigns are they usual, They start pretty pretty

242
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: well and then I in advance. So yeah, we've been

243
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: divulging into this area because we see that uh evs

244
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: are being driven across America. There's a lot of different

245
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: OEM manufacturers that are offering new models in their in

246
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: their front in their equal lines now, so we felt

247
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: it was really important.

248
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: This this EV diagnostic kit in our last minute and

249
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: a half harrash. This is a standalone kit? Or does

250
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: this work with an existing launch scan tool?

251
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: So it's a standalone kit that's the technician or the

252
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: shop purchases and invest in, and it can be it

253
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: can be paired with their launch X four thirty win

254
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: scan tool. Anyone of to launch X for thirty one scancel, gotcha.

255
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: So it's it's not necessarily a complete scan tool. It's

256
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's a it's cables and adapters to

257
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: YEA to interface with evs.

258
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a kit with non standard battery pack connector

259
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: jumper cables. And I'm sixteen ten OBIDI diagnostics.

260
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: And then I guess, I guess is the EV changes

261
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: is the batteries change as the electrical demands change. We

262
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: can change the cables, we can change the kit, we

263
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: can update software in the scan tool, and we're good

264
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: to go.

265
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, and we're very We're on the we're always

266
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: like linking at the market in terms of what what

267
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: the OEMs are doing, and you know, if they're changing ports,

268
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: and you know, we always repivot and try to offer that.

269
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well yeah, Launch has a great history of that, brother,

270
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, I get it one hundred percent. Hey, listen,
