Autel has added a two-day, in-person class around electric vehicle diagnostic training.
The class is set for October 3 and 4 in the company's Port Washington, New York, headquarters, according to a press release. Classes will include hands-on work as well as lectures.
The total program time is 16 hours to cover an understanding of how hybrid and electric vehicles work, equipment and tools to start servicing vehicles, and other information. Most of the instruction will be around EV diagnostic and maintenance training, the company says. This includes an in-depth traction battery pack analysis, battery maintenance system controls, and coverage of converters, inverters, and motor generators.
Classes are intended for users of Autel's EV diagnostic tablets.
"There are nearly three million plug-in electric vehicles on U.S. roads today, with new EV and Hybrid models released yearly by new and legacy brands," said John Forro, Autel Trainer, and EV Diagnostics Specialist. "The time is now for shop owners and technicians to start or continue their electric vehicle diagnostics training and expand their customer base to EV drivers."
Two-day courses cost $1,295. Contact your authorized Autel dealer to purchase an Autel Training Academy (ATA) card at a discounted rate and register for your class online at autel.com/us/academy.
ADAS and EV diagnostics classes are available monthly through December 2023.
