This week’s key takeaway:
Upskilling your team with EV & ADAS with Dean
Lander
Episode intro:
Electric vehicles are coming faster than most people
expected, so it’s high time you got up to speed! To help you do
that we’ve got Dean Lander back on the show: Head of Repair
Services at Thatcham Research over in the UK.
Shorter journey times in the UK have enabled EVs to take
a firm foothold in the market, with a far higher take up than in
Australia. There is a lot we can learn from our friends up in the
northern hemisphere, so we’d better start learning it! Dean was
kind enough to tell us how it is and what we can do to prepare
ourselves for a future of EVs and ADAS.
In this week’s episode you will learn:
-The growth of EVs in the UK
-Is the industry ready for the growth of
EVs?
-The increased risk of working on a car with 1000V of
current
-How to train your staff to manage EVs
safely
-The importance of good signage
-Will you need a different workshop to work on
EVs?
-How insurers are assessing the capability of EV
repairers
-How the pace of change is set to increase
-Different calibrations of ADAS
-The increasing threat of undiagnosed ADAS
faults
-Why repairers should be thinking about autonomous
vehicles
