Who is this aimed at?
eLearning modules that are suitable for all learners with tailored content for different levels of knowledge needed:
- EV Aware Essentials for non-technical and/or administrative staff
- EV Aware Enhanced for technical employees/managers including specific modules for VDA staff
What will I learn?
- Identification - Exterior: Different badges and colour variants, also including body design and differences between BEV, HEV, R-EEV.
- Interior: Operating lights and component operating switches; also including operational sequences
- Health and safety - Personal H&S: The personal health and safety precautions when HV vehicles are on site.
- Workspace H&S: The workspace health and safety precautions when HV vehicles are on site (including general health and safety as a requirement for AOM81).
- Vehicle H&S: The vehicle health and safety precautions when HV vehicles are on site
- Vehicle Design - The different types of drive trains and detailing the pros and cons of each; also, how to identify each one
- Investigating what components look like and how they operate. This will include charging types.
- Working voltages and equipment - The specific tools required to work on and around HV vehicles.
Content Includes
- The different types of voltages AC/DC and their implications, what levels of voltage to expect in different scenarios and threshold voltages
- Component Requirements - Component position variations: Where potentially dangerous components can be fitted around different vehicles and how to work around them.
- Component make-up: What the interior of components are and what makes them dangerous (batteries).
- General repair - Variations and differences from non-HV to HV information that is required from the person booking vehicles in right up to skilled HV tech, e.g., booth bake times, infrared lighting, welding and vehicle recovery
- Post accident damage assessments Parts 1 & 2 - Risks involved in incorrectly assessing an HV vehicle post-accident, how HV systems react to an accident and identifying key decision makers around an EV post-accident
- How high voltage is quarantined and identify decision makers regarding quarantine
