Learn the ins and outs of electric vehicles through the lens of a gas-to-electric car conversion at Legacy EV's EV Fundamentals Certification Bootcamp!
Learners will wire, program, commission, tune, and practice fault finding in various EV systems using fully functional EV training benches. High Voltage Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is demonstrated and used in this class during hands-on exercises.
Included in the Boot Camp is access to Legacy EV's virtual Certified Technician Program to become certified by Legacy EV in performing gas-to-electric vehicle conversions.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone interested in learning about EVs. This includes:
- Do-it-yourself hobbyists thinking about performing a gas-to-electric conversion.
- People interested in starting a gas-to-electric conversion business.
- Companies learning how to implement high voltage and EV safety in their workplace.
- Fleet or custom car shop owners who want to start performing conversions.
- Service technicians who want to grow their skillset in EV diagnosis, service, and repair.
