The EV Skills Mapping Project is a joint research initiative with the Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) to develop a clear understanding of the workforce involved in servicing electric vehicles (EVs).  

As the EV sector grows, the project focuses on identifying key occupations in EV servicing, the tasks they perform, and the extent to which these tasks require electrical or EV-specific skills, including where electrical hazards may be present. It also examines how these roles and tasks differ from those in servicing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. 

In this project, we will conduct targeted research to identify key EV servicing occupations, analyse the tasks performed within these roles, and assess the associated electrical and EV-specific skill requirements, depending on the nature of the electrical hazard (if any). The project will produce detailed skills maps for all tasks undertaken in a workshop on an EV.
