The demand for electric vehicles by consumers speaks volumes and therefore the demand for technicians to work on those increased EVs will rise as well.

A quick glance at the numbers shows a glimpse into the near future. EV sales jumped 55% from 2021 to 2022. Then in 2022 there were more than 10 million electric vehicles sold globally. That accounts for 14% of all new car sales in 2022 (were electric).

In the United States 2.44 million electric vehicles were registered in 2024.

The increase in electric vehicles (EVs) on our roads presents an expanding need for education and training opportunities for technicians. As the automotive industry continues towards electric drivetrains, technicians must acquire new skills to effectively service these vehicles especially with high voltage HV systems.

ConsuLab continues to be the leader in offering intuitive solutions in the world of automotive, heavy vehicle and electric vehicle technology. Through months of collaboration between our engineering department and our education team, we have created the industry’s first completely safe 400V measurable EV safety trainer.

The EV-400 will revolutionize the industry and provides students the ability to diagnose, measure and service high voltage systems – but do so safely. This product has live 400V present when powered on and includes a monitored high-voltage loop.

At ConsuLab, we understand that hands-on experience is key to mastering complex concepts. That's why the EV-400 offers a comprehensive platform with many testable functions. From drive modes and regenerative braking to service disconnects and high voltage interlock loops, students can explore various aspects of high-voltage EV safety systems with ease.

Safety is at the forefront of every product we create and for this trainer it was of the utmost importance. Students have the opportunity to practice emergency response procedures and vehicle de-powering procedures, preparing them for real-world situations.

This makes the EV-400 a wonderful training aid for first responders as well!
