Nissan 1st training center 4 electric vehicles
"I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole!" That's the statement we often hear when it comes to working on potentially dangerous electric vehicles (EVs). This anti-EV sentiment can be heard from shadetree mechanics and old-timers who aren't specifically trained to work on the high voltage, amped-up inner workings of EVs - or first responders who know the dangers to the inexperienced - but we often hear similar ramblings from trained automotive technicians. Nissan aims to put the myths of danger associated with working on EVs like the Leaf to rest by training technicians at its newly opened technical center in Livermore, CA.
The Livermore Training Center is Nissan's first facility built specifically to accommodate the complex training required for EVs. The facility boasts 23,000 square feet of space, houses three classrooms, features a component repair area, 16 bays and eight hoists. In addition to EV training, the Livermore facility will also act as Nissan's Northwest training center for more conventional vehicles.
