EV: The Real Deal

Hybrid / Electric Vehicles

History & Progression of Hybrid & EV – 2030 ICE not being Manufactured

Types of High Voltage Vehicles

Electric Vehicle (EV) / Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV):

A vehicle powered solely by energy stored in an electrochemical device, generally electricity provided by batteries. An EV/BEV is not a hybrid electric vehicle

Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV): An electric vehicle equipped with an electrical generator (powered by an Internal. Combustion Engine or ICE) that supplements the electrical propulsion system and extends the vehicle’s operating rangeHybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): A vehicle powered by two or more energy sources and energy converters, one of which is electricity. HEV’s usually combined the engine and fuel of a conventional vehicle with the batteries and electric motor of an electric vehicle in a single drive train.Note: The term “Hybrid” may encompass vehicles with “Micro-hybrid” technology (which refers primarily to vehicles with “Start/stop” systems). Micro-hybrid vehicles are not High Voltage Vehicles.Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): Hybrid vehicles that can charge their batteries from an external source in the same fashion as electric vehicles

48v Mild Hybrid

Currently in use by brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Audi and Kia the lower-tech mild hybrid systems utilises a small 48-volt motor/generator in place of a conventional alternator (the device that normally charges the battery in a combustion-engined car). This is designed to give the combustion engine a mild boost under heavy acceleration or to give the engine a helping hand from a standing start. 

In addition to providing boost in the circumstances above, mild hybrids cut the ignition when engine power isn’t needed such as when stationary, rolling or when braking – a system more commonly known as engine start-stop. Some also capture energy using regenerative braking, which converts the car’s kinetic energy when decelerating and stores it as electrical energy in the batteries.

What do I need to do to be ready

Making everyone aware of the risks associated with HV systems

Familiarise your business with the electricity at work regulation

Investment in the right tools, equipment, PPE Sign post the presence of HV vehicles – make it obvious to everyoneTrain everyone in the risks associated with HV vehiclesFailure to do so could result in catastrophic loss of life, significant reputational and financial damage, as well as prosecution of the persons on whom duties are imposed by the regulations.

Hybrid/EV Training Levels

Non technical staff – Those who may be in the area but don’t engage with repair

Awareness of Hybrid / EV vehicles for all members of staff.

Technical Staff – engage with the vehicle for repair but not the HV systemKnowledge of how systems work and how to identify that systems have been shutdown for safe onward working.HV Specialists – those who make it safe for others and work on HV systemsProven competence to power down the HV systems and make the vehicle safe for ongoing repair, ability to remove and refit High Voltage components and capability to fully reinstate the HV systemConsideration for higher levels of proven competence may be required where or when repair methods begin to consider working within the cells of the battery or repairing the system.View from training providers and industry leaders

The content of this training could include subject matters to give the candidates the knowledge required to work safely in an environment where Electric/Hybrid vehicle repair is being conducted.

It should contain:

• The types of Electric/Hybrid vehicles available

• Hazards associated with motor vehicle high energy electrical systems• Working safely around Electric/Hybrid vehiclesCandidates successfully completing this level of training will acquire significant core knowledge of working safely around, but not maintain Electric/Hybrid vehicles.Providing this level of awareness training creates some protection for the business against potential reputational harm and will help keep the environment and staff safe in the event of an electrocution event.Awareness For all

Content of this training should include subject matters to give the candidates the knowledge required to identify high voltage systems and components and be able to assure themselves that such systems have been made safe prior to working on a vehicle with a high voltage system onboard.

It should contain:

• The types of electric vehicles available

• Hybrid Electric Vehicle identification• Understand the hazards around high energy electrical systems• Know how to work safely around electric vehiclesCandidates successfully completing this level of training will acquire significant core knowledge of working safely on a high voltage powered vehicle, but not on the Electric/Hybrid vehicles high voltage system.Providing this level of knowledge through training provides some assurance that the staff are suitably protected through knowledge and that the high voltage system will remain protected throughout the repairing process.SAFE WORKING KNOWLEDGE for technical

Training to this level of technical competence should be considered as mandatory for any person expected to come into contact with high voltage systems. Business expecting to manage repairs to vehicles which contain high voltage systems should ensure they this level of competence is available within their business.

• Working safely on an electric/hybrid vehicle

• Using information to carry out the task

• Carrying out repairs on high energy electrical systems• Gathering information and making suitable recommendationsLearners successfully completing this level of training and assessment will acquire the significant core knowledge and skills required to make vehicles safe for onward repair and will have the competence to remove and replace Electric/Hybrid vehicle high voltage components.

HIGH VOLTAGE TECHNICAL COMPETENCE.

ROI on EV Compliance

Cost of training and tooling for a Medium Bodyshop to be compliant = 4-5k.

Cost of subletting for discharge and making vehicle safe = £100 per vehicle. (who helps the sub let if he gets electrocuted)

Average of 30 min per EV vehicles ROI will take 250 jobs.Volume of EV vehicles coming into Bodyshops set to increase bearing in mind 28.5% of vehicles sold in 2020 were EV of some description. Future proof your business and start to comply with EV requirements. Work providers may mandate that you have to be qualified to work on EV. You cannot quantify life! Take the necessary steps to safeguard your employees and business.

Let’s Not Forget Commercial LCV

With LCV becoming the quickest growing market in vehicles sales in the UK it is no surprise that the roll out of EV vehicles will be arriving in the bodyshop for repair very soon if not already!
