EV Handling Qualified
The OEC Electric Vehicle Handling Qualified (EVHQ) program is designed to provide technicians, shop owners, and front-of-house staff with the specialized knowledge and skills needed to safely and effectively handle EVs.
With EV market adoption expected to reach 50% by 2030, getting qualified prepares you for the increased business likely to result from this rapidly growing market, promoting profitability. This training can extend to your entire staff, providing all team members with the knowledge needed to provide better experiences for your customers.
OVERVIEW
What does EVHQ do?
EVHQ has been developed by industry experts to identify, qualify, and promote EV-ready repair shops across North America. Since there’s an increased likelihood of unseen damage with EVs, even bringing them into your shop can pose safety concerns. Mishandling or accidental contact with high-voltage components can lead to serious injuries to your employees and damaged EV or hybrid batteries are a fire or explosion risk, putting your facility in harm’s way.
