Are you an EV Ready collision repair business?

With both hybrid and full electric cars taking a strong hold on vehicle sales across the UK, it’s inevitable that repairers will now see these vehicles entering their work mix. In readiness for this EV revolution, Grove have partnered with two fully accredited training providers to support our customers with the necessary safety awareness, knowledge, practical skills, recognised qualifications, necessary tooling and PPE required to become an EV Ready collision repair business.

The safety of workshop staff is paramount in any business where damaged electric vehicles are entering the workplace. These vehicles present new, potentially lethal risks to staff if they are untrained, unaware or ill-prepared for the safe handling and management of damaged electric vehicles.

Grove’s new EV Ready programmes offer all the training and support needed for your staff to achieve industry recognised qualifications, helping to keep them safe and efficient. Delivered in partnership with RWC Training and Crash Repair Solutions we offer two training pathways to become EV Ready.
