The proverb 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing' expresses the idea that a small amount of knowledge can mislead people into thinking that they are more expert than they are, which can lead to mistakes being made. When it comes to repairing EV/Hybrids, the era of being a parts changer, I'm told, is nonexistent. We recorded live at Dorman with G Truglia and Pete Meier, 2 out of 4 trainers for a weekend of hands-on training. Listen to their perspectives on EV/Hybrid repair and training and why critical thinking is more important than ever.

Key Talking Points

Tips and tricks with EV/Hybrids- you must understand electric

Using a meter- where to put it, what scale to put it on and what the readings mean

You either fix it right, or you fix it wrong- there is no middle ground or a gray area

Information is key- batteries, computer systems, motors, etc

You have to have logic and critical thinking when working with high voltage

Changing a battery isn’t so simple anymore

Commitment to training and education- reading publications, attending live hands-on classes

Challenges- technicians do not receive support from the shop owner

Transferring information from the brain to your hands- no longer a parts changer to fix problems. Comprehensive understanding.

How many shops are doing EV/Hybrid the right way?

60 volts can stop your heart and kill you

“A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
