The SCU MOTORSPORT LTD programme will include an electric race car to support the delivery of practical skills for working on Electric Vehicles. It will also support research around improving efficiency of EV systems and recycling.
This reflects reality.
A colleague wanted some work on his electric car...... he was told there is a 3 month waiting list.
We were at a college in the UK about 12 months ago, discussing how we could support them with adopting motorsport.... we mentioned there would be an electric version of the race car and they said "Great..... we have a problem with electric skills training. We are 100 metres away from a main dealer and they have stopped taking our trainees as they do not have the correct skills".
How can this be happening?
EV's are commonplace, the adoption rate is increasing - but the numbers of trained technicians is falling.
