Autel has announced the addition of a course covering diagnostics and maintenance for electric vehicles, according to a press release.
The first session for the two-day, 16-hour course will be held October 3 and 4 at the Autel Port Washington, New York, headquarters.
There will be lectures and hands-on lessons to give students an in-depth understanding of how hybrid and electric vehicles function, as well as the tools and equipment needed to work on them.
Topics covered will include in-depth-traction battery pack analysis, Battery Maintenance System controls and converters, inverters, and motor generators.
Current and potential owners of Autel EV diagnostic tablets are encouraged to attend the course. Existing and upcoming vehicle and battery tools will also be looked at.
“There are nearly 3 million plugin 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.”
