EV Repairs | Our EV Experts Qualifications

Qualifications

Here, our EV experts take pride in their responsibility towards customer satisfaction and quality control.

We reach these goals by employing professionals in the EV field and following industry standards to ensure a high degree of merit over finished services.

It would be outrageous to place a level 2 EV technician on tuning your BMW 330e or an unqualified EV mechanic on servicing your Tesla Model 3.

That’s why, here at EV Repairs we not only have level 4 and 3 EV-certified mechanics but also 3 Automotive Degrees, a Master’s Degree and a Research Engineer!

EV Experts Shortage!

In 2022, only 7% of engineers were qualified to work on fixing electric and hybrid vehicle problems.

In the future, you may struggle to find EV experts in garages across the UK to repair or boost your vehicle’s performance.

After 2026, the shortage of EV experts will cause huge shifts in demand, pricing and unqualified servicing.

Who Can Service My EV or Hybrid?

Do not worry! The Institute of the Motor Industry is manoeuvring around the recent electric and hybrid skill gap by running campaigns to increase EV skills across garages. Rapid advancements in EV innovation require fresh knowledge and understanding and we have the team for that!

At EV Repairs, our leading expert Andrew Crook has presented his commitment to this field by attaining a level 4 EV qualification, an Advanced Drivers Assistance System (ADAS) certificate, as well as an automotive degree.

Grieg Western is another one of our team’s qualified EV technicians. Achieving a level 3 EV certificate and a 1st-Class Engineering degree, showing he too is certified in working on high-performance and regular EVs.

Qualification Levels

Now, we’ve talked enough about who on our team is EV-qualified.

However, understanding the difference between each certification is important. Below, you’ll find a detailed description of all three EV levels to help you make informed decisions regarding the servicing of your EV or Hybrid vehicle.

EV Level 3

This qualification provides advanced teaching for electric and hybrid technicians needing to work on high-voltage systems. As the conventional voltage on cars ranges from 12V to 24V, electric and hybrid models can reach over 400V+. This program certifies mechanics with the experience and technical ability to deal with high-voltage machinery.

EV Level 2

This program is tailored to automotive specialists where hybrid and electric vehicle maintenance is regular work. Providing the trainee with important knowledge to ensure they can effectively and safely carry out tasks on plug-in vehicles, ranging from regenerative braking system fixes to battery changes, qualifiers can undertake, diagnose, inspect, and repair electric vehicles.

EV Level 4

Representing the highest level of technical training for EV experts. It provides users with the distinguished understanding to accurately diagnose, service and undertake maintenance on high-voltage networks safely and successfully.
