With more electric vehicles coming out of warranty, the demand for High Voltage Technicians (EVs and hybrids) is rising sharply. In many workshops, relying on a single specialist is becoming unsustainable due to the growing workload. Upskilling the wider Technician team is crucial to balance demand and prevent bottlenecks. To attract and retain this talent, dealerships must also provide modern, clean work environments equipped with the latest technology and tools. Continuous upskilling and modernising apprenticeship programmes focused on EV technology and diagnostics are crucial. Ireland’s recent
WorldSkills achievements demonstrate the country’s potential to train world-class talent. The shortage of Technicians highlights the need for strong leadership in managing these challenges.
