EV growth represents increased opportunities for garages with trained technicians

AutoCare and United Garage Services EV training helping to close skills gap

More than 35 per cent of the AutoCare network currently has an IMI level two EV/PHEV or above qualified technician in their workshop, the network has confirmed.

The figure represents more than double the industry average.

A spokesperson for AutoCare and United Garage Services said: “With the increase of qualified technicians in the past year increasing from 3-5 per cent, figures suggest that at the current rate there will be a skill gap shortage on maintenance for EV’s indicating increased opportunities for garages and workshops that have trained technicians on hand.

“Whilst the AutoCare and United Garage Services network programmes provided by Alliance Automotive Group not only support garages with lead generation, IT solutions, marketing and branding opportunities, the real unique selling point lies in its market leading training programme.

“With over 87 training courses offered at any given time and five specifically on EV vehicles, members are reaping the rewards of the programmes added value opportunities.

“Such is the dedication of the networks team, training was still offered during the first lockdown in the UK with over 100 courses completed during April to August alone, via distance learning or utilising social distances measured.”
