The 2023 SEMA show will have a program for attendees to earn an electric vehicle certification at the event, according to a press release.

“Electric Vehicles 101 Presented by Legacy EV” is a full-day program led by Greg Snowden of Revolt Systems alongside Baily Soto and Tom Santilli of Legacy EV. It will take place on October 30 for early arrivals and exhibitors, with a maximum of 20 students accepted.

It includes hands-on training with real EV powertrains and EV specifics such as the relationship between volts, ohms, and amperes, the principles of Watt's Law, the tools and equipment needed for electrical systems, and more. 

The course will be divided into two segments: “Understanding EV Anatomy and Electrical Theory” and “Applications with EV Specifications, EV Tooling, HV Safety.” Those who complete the program will receive EV101 certification from Legacy EV, a study guide, and an at-home assessment for seven hours in continuing education credits toward achieving and/or maintaining certification.
