A Siemens electric vehicle charging station is displayed during an event a day ahead of the official opening of the 2023 Munich Auto Show IAA Mobility, in Munich, Germany, September 4, 2023. The Siemens Foundation is partnering with the North Carolina Business Committee for Education and the Michigan-based Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP). Siemens Foundation partners also include the National League of Cities and the National Governors Association. Etzwiler said the initiative will emphasize training for individuals in underserved and underrepresented communities, providing a path to well-paying, long-lasting jobs in the EV charging sector. Automakers support the foundation's efforts to "ensure that we've got a network of chargers across the country" to support accelerating EV production, Etzwiler said.

It forecasts that Britain, with a 2030 fossil-fuel car sale ban, could be short 25,000 EV technicians by 2032. And Australia could be 9,000 EV technicians short by 2030, the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce predicts. CEO Lawrence Whittaker said Warrantywise must use expensive franchise dealers to fix EVs because they more often have qualified technicians than independent shops. Customers lacking EV repair options already come from far afield. The IMI estimates 20% of UK automotive technicians have received some EV training, but only 1% are qualified to do more than routine maintenance.
