…The Kangan Institute, based in Victoria, has about 3,000 automotive apprentices who are learning to work on both internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) and EVs.
The institute’s automotive education manager Gavin Cribb said many of the skills used in ICEV maintenance were easily transferable.
“We’re finding that it’s an evolution, not a revolution,” Mr Cribb said.
“We still need to have the base understanding of your physics, suspension, internal components and so on.”
And it’s not just light vehicle mechanics who are gearing up for the transition – the Kangan Institute is running a TAFE course in Victoria on how to inspect and maintain electric buses.
