All Sessions by Yves Racette

  • Day 1 | May 14, 2025


  • 11:15am  - 11:45am
    What really happens when an EV rolls into the shop after its warranty ends or a component is no longer covered? This hands-on workshop, led by experts from NAPA’s NexDrive training program, dives into what’s truly repairable on today’s electric vehicles — and how independent shops and fleet technicians are getting it done. Through real-world case studies of a Chevy Volt, Porsche Taycan, and Tesla Model 3, you’ll see how trained teams are diagnosing high-voltage faults, replacing battery modules, and performing cost-effective repairs. Learn how advanced training translates to confident, everyday service, and why both fleets and independent garages are key to keeping EVs on the road, safely and affordably.
