EV Training for Technicians is More Important Than Ever

Although the pandemic’s chip shortage continues to cause more consumers to keep their aging cars, the rise in demand for electric vehicles (EV) also continues to rise. Now EV have more attention than ever because of the sharp increases in gas prices. The key takeaway from this trend is that this also means a rise in demand for trained technicians.

An important component of the sustainability of your automotive business is your technician team. Employees want to stay where they are taken care of as a valued part of your business. This incorporates things like benefits, availability of promotions, and continued education. Although training seems like an expensive development, it can be a worthwhile investment that increases the value that you put on your employees and customer experience. Offering continued training for your current technicians not only expands their knowledge but also their confidence for their work and their gratitude for you. 

The rise in EV demand puts the automotive technicians in a spotlight to be able to perform required jobs. The last thing you want to do is turn away a customer because your team was not prepared to service their vehicle. According to Cars.com, the top EV in demand include the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 for families, the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 for value, and the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV for commuters.
