Do EVs need to be serviced, and if so, who are these next-gen mechanics?
Description
Regardless of whether you drive an EV or ICE vehicle, regular servicing is a must. But, as more batteries make their way onto the service roster, how is the automotive industry adapting to meet the specific needs of EVs? Will hand tools be replaced by a computer-science degree? Can your local garage handle both a battery check and an engine tune-up? Adam Pay, the director of mycar and a dedicated EV driver, gives Rusty and Nadine the inside scoop on how they're enhancing the skills of their workforce and expanding their EV-ready service centres – and the good news is, no computer science degree is required! Nadine delves into the intricacies of spontaneous battery fires. Plus, Chris Isaac, TAFE NSW teacher and lover of all things automotive, tells us about the next generation of mechanics walking through his doors, what they’re looking for under the bonnet of your EV, and how they’re safeguarding the future of the automotive workforce.
