This course will provide a brand-agnostic and hands-on training opportunity for automotive techs to upskill themselves with a new understanding of Electric Vehicle powertrains. The one-day training will focus on the fundamental functions of EV powertrains and explore key High Voltage Safety practices. Trainees who complete this course will receive an EV101 certification from Legacy EV. During the training, attendees will get to work with real EV powertrains and tooling on Legacy EV training benches. Morning Session - Understanding EV Anatomy and Electrical Theory Understanding how EV’s work begins with understanding first what is inside them and then understanding the fundamentals of how they are powered. This session will provide attendees with an overview of the components that make up an EV and their functions and the electrical theory that gives them their modern performance. In this session, attendees will know and understand; What systems are needed to make a functional EV? What are the functions and important specifications of EV components? How can we model the behavior of electricity in a wire with water and a hose? Afternoon Session - Applications with EV Specifications, EV Tooling, HV Safety Knowing how EV works is important, but being able to apply that knowledge is where the learning truly brings value. In this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of High Voltage Safety compliance and apply their knowledge from the morning session with HV safety best practices to work on real EV powertrains. In this session, attendees will apply their knowledge of EVs by demonstrating; How can we use EV components specifications to determine and improve vehicle performance? How do I use a digital multimeter to measure voltage, current, resistance, and continuity in a HV circuit? How might I arrange and wire EV components to fit an ICE vehicle and chassis? How do I perform a certified HV disconnection procedure? How do I verify that my system is de-energized or zero voltage verified (ZVV)? Course Length: The course is one, 7-hour day. The course will be split into two sessions, an AM session, and a PM session. Attendees will attend both morning and afternoon sessions.
