Electric Vehicle Training for the Future of Automotive Technology

As Electric Vehicles continue to grow in terms of market share, it is important for students and young people to understand the basic principles that go into EVs and automotive technology.

From the basics of electricity, Ohm's Law, DC Circuits, fundamental Electrical Safety, Relays, etc., it's becoming paramount to a student's success in the automotive, STEM, and manufacturing fields to be comfortable and familiar with electric concepts and technologies.

Technologies continue to evolve and grow at an exponential speed, and systems - especially in the automotive industry - will continue to adopt newer and more advanced technologies; therefore, we must prepare students now with a solid foundation.

BYO

Much like previous generations built transistor radios, or computers, or similar, our Electric Vehicle kits for building street-legal EVs is pushing student interaction, understanding, and interest like never before!

No amount of visual aids, textbook reading, or demonstrations can do quite for a student's knowledge and retention what building an Electric Vehicle from the ground-up does.
