How we taught AI to answer the hardest EV questions

How we taught an AI to answer an EV specialist's hardest support questions — and to know when it shouldn't.

Electric vehicles are complex software on wheels — and the questions that come with them are anything but simple. Battery systems, charging hardware, compatibility between models and parts: when something needs answering, it needs answering precisely.

Resolve EV, an EV specialist, sells EV parts and accessories online — and fields a steady stream of exactly those questions. Answering them well takes real expertise and real time, and the volume kept growing.

We built them an AI support system: a RAG chatbot that draws on documentation and years of support emails — answering instantly when it knows, and escalating to a human expert when it doesn't.

The challenge

A high volume of hard questions — where a wrong answer isn't an option.

Resolve EV's support team handled a high volume of complex EV technical inquiries, the kind of questions that take real expertise and real time to answer well, and where a wrong answer isn't an option.

A generic chatbot was never going to cut it. The answers customers needed lived in product documentation and years of support conversations — knowledge the team had, but that no system could search.

The approach

A support brain built from the knowledge they already had.

We combined an LLM and a vector database to answer highly technical questions. Documentation and years of email history were collected in a data lake, vectorized, and turned into searchable knowledge — and when the system isn't confident in an answer, it automatically escalates to a human expert instead of guessing.

Confidence matters as much as capability. Rather than letting the model guess, anything the system isn't sure about is escalated automatically — customers get an instant answer when the AI knows, and one from a real person when it doesn't.

What we built

An AI support system that answers like an expert — and knows its own limits.

  • RAG support chatbotAnswers highly technical EV queries, grounded in documentation and years of support emails — not in guesswork.
  • Data lake retrievalAtlas Vector Search over technical documentation and mailbox history makes the team's accumulated expertise searchable.
  • Automatic human escalationUncertain answers are routed to human experts instead of being served to customers.
  • Production AI stackLLM for reasoning, vector database for retrieval — proven, managed building blocks.

The outcome

Expert answers in seconds, humans where they matter.

The chatbot now handles technical inquiries directly from the knowledge Resolve EV already had, while human experts focus on the cases that genuinely need them — support that scales without scaling the team.
