“Hello, It Mrs Jones here. I’ve got rid of my Diesel Golf and I’ve Bought and ID3. Are you guys OK to help me fix a problem with it? The battery seems to have gone flat.” 

How are you going to handle the phone call in to your reception?

This call can strike fear into the heart of the unprepared garage, and lead to more questions. The unprepared garage may invite Mrs Jones to take a trip to the dealer, as they don’t know anything about electric VW Group vehicles. This is a huge mistake and a missed opportunity.  

Mrs Jones’ problem might just be the 12 volt battery, but how will you know unless you’re trained and prepared?

Specialist Training on VW Group Vehicles

Through attending a hands-on technical training course, aimed specifically at the VW Group vehicles, you could be the go-to VW specialist in your area, being a EV prepared garage business. The EV prepared garage will know what questions to ask and what to do when the vehicle arrives. 

Low voltage charging systems on an EV don’t have an alternator – they have a DC to DC converter. Do you know how to test and diagnose this system? This is where the fault with Mrs Jones car could be. 

The High Voltage battery can be charged via a DC rapid charge or an AC Fast charge, or an AC granny charger. Do you know how to test and diagnose these charge systems? This is where the fault with Mrs Jones car could be. 

The onboard charger takes the AC input and flips it to DC to charge the main battery. Do you know how to test and diagnose this system?  This is where the fault with Mrs Jones car could be. 

The AC system plays a big part in thermal management of battery, drivetrain and charging. It may include a heat pump and use a high voltage compressor.  Do you know how to test and diagnose this system?  This is where the fault with Mrs Jones car could be. 

Electric Vehicle Specialist Training VW Group Vehicles will help you fill the knowledge gap and offer a highly professional service to your customers.

With EV, everything is different. Prepare for the flood while the tide is out.

The engine is different, the transmission is different, the brake system is different, the fuel source is different, the low voltage system is different, the heating and air con is different, servicing is different. Make this difference work to your advantage.

The harsh reality is, whatever your personal position on electric vehicles, they are coming and you need technical training to take advantage of the opportunity.
