Electric Vehicles

Why is training for electric vehicles necessary?

The industry standard for the safe handling of high-voltage systems in electric vehicles places specific requirements on competence and safety. Incorrect handling of an EV can expose individuals to serious hazards such as electric shock, arc flashes, fire or explosions. That’s why everyone who works in environments where electric vehicles are present must understand these risks and how to avoid them.

It is not enough for only technicians to be trained. Personnel in towing services, emergency response, sales, warehousing, transport and many other roles may find themselves close to electric vehicles and high-voltage components. To prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment, everyone should complete the training for the role of Informed Person Electric Vehicles (IPE).

The training provides essential knowledge about risks, signage, restricted areas and safe behaviour, enabling you to be present in facilities where high-voltage work is carried out without endangering yourself or others.

We offer training in several areas

Correct diagnostics and information – the foundation of professional repair work

Servicing and repairing today’s vehicles is a complex task. With advanced systems, electric drivetrains and constantly evolving technology, experience and traditional methods are no longer enough. To meet the industry’s requirements for professionally executed work — defined by guidelines from organisations such as Godkänd Bilverkstad (GBV) and Kontrollerad Bilverkstad — you need access to accurate diagnostics and the right repair information.

Why is this so important?

• Safety: Incorrect repairs can lead to serious consequences for both customers and staff.

• Laws and regulations: The industry is governed by strict requirements for documentation and quality assurance. Without the right information, you risk violating these standards.

• Efficiency: With the right diagnostic tools and manuals, you save time, reduce errors and avoid unnecessary costs.

• Future readiness: Electric vehicles and high‑tech systems require up‑to‑date knowledge and access to original manufacturer data.
