The importance of EV repair and maintenance training for technicians in the UK is highlighted by a recent report from the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) predicting a shortfall of 3,000 EV mechanics by 2030, growing to 16,000 by 2035. Companies like CoolKit are partnering with institutions like Blackburn College's Hybrid Electric Automotive Training (HEAT) center to enhance the skills of their employees in working with electric and hybrid vehicles. Similarly, Cardiff and Vale College and South & City College Birmingham are providing hands-on experience for students with EVs, preparing them for future careers in the automotive industry. Additionally, South & City College Birmingham has opened a new hydrogen vehicle training facility to support the upskilling of the existing automotive workforce for the growing demand for hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The Valeo Tech Academy has launched in the UK to bridge the growing EV skills gap, offering comprehensive training on electric and hybrid vehicle repairs, including simulator-based sessions for practical learning. These initiatives are crucial in advancing fleet decarbonization and preparing the workforce for the shift towards alternatively fueled vehicles.
