This week’s key takeaway:
The risks of EV and why proper training is so important
Episode intro:
it doesn’t take a genius to work out that EVs are going to become
increasingly important to collision repairers, but are you ready
for it?
EV training will become fundamental to the success/failure of body
shops, so we sent editor Sam to the MTA NSW training facility to
have a look around and give you an understanding of how this
training works and why it is so important.
Sam spoke to Ian Price (GM of RTO & Training), Anthony Tomassetti
(Continuous Development Manager) and Anthony Bonanno (EV trainer).
All of them gave a great insight into how EV training could work
for your business.
In this week’s episode you will learn:
-How to train people on EVs safely
-The urgency of adoption of EVs
-Why batteries may be damaged in a paint booth
-De-powering of vehicles
-The different EV courses you can do
-The new equipment you might need to service EVs
-What the EV1 course entails
-How simulators can help
-Funding for employers to upskill their staff
