The other videos in this section (AED and EV 3-1) are being recorded but not completed and not uploaded yet. We are working hard to add extra seminars.

Electric vehicle and Hybrid diagnostics.From simple how to interpret the data the vehicle offers to the customer, via the most intricate diagnostics of every component, to in depth HV battery analyses.
- Inverter diagnostics
- EV traction motor diagnostics (incl position sensor)
- Heat pump diagnostics and maintenance,
- Battery technology, repair and diagnostics

Payments for access to the video training are made via your Vimeo account (click on the blue "How to Vimeo" button on the left if you are unsure).

EV 1-1

EV Customer Initiation (EV1-1)
Electric vehicles are becoming a part of everyday life.  For those who use and work around EV’s it has become important to understand and be confident to use and maintain an EV with health and safety in mind.     

AECS has put together a series of video training for EV owners, technicians, vehicle sales and insurance assessors.  Our EV training is not only fun and easy to understand.

This training comes included with an invitation to attend one of our regular EV 1-1 webinars, for which you should enrol separately.

Course ID: EV1-1
Online study time: Approximately 0.5 day
Study fee: US$126 (based on NZ$185+gst)for a 2 months study period, or simply rent per video for US$10


EV 2-1

EV Diagnostics & Maintenance: Part 1 (EV2-1)
EV training specifically for technicians and diagnosticians. In this practical training, you will get a solid understanding of maintenance, diagnostics, and repair. We cover the charging system, EVSEs, installations, charge costs, preserving battery quality, a brief look into battery technology and battery live data analyses, stranded EV recovery.
We also cover under EV maintenance; transmission, earth brush inspection, silica tyres, grip, tyre internal technology, brake system, filtration, LED lighting, PDM layout and internal repairs,without the danger of exposure to high voltage. We compare the leafspy data with factory scantool data.

EV 3-1

EV Battery Diagnostics & Repair (EV3-1)
In this series of videos we take an inside look at the individual battery’s construction and chemistry. How the mechanical construction and the batteries are connected. We dive super deep into individual anodes and cathodes connected to the busbars. Commonly found problems inside the individual Li-ion batteries. How does simple chemistry change your thinking about rechargeable batteries? You will learn about SEI, admittance and capacity.
