Electric Vehicle (EV) and hybrid vehicles are still far from ubiquitous, however they are becoming increasingly popular within the UK. This means that as cars of this type begin to enter the used car market, it is important for consumers to be able to have these vehicles serviced by a local garage or even mobile mechanics.
Earlier this year the IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) announced an industry wide training, accreditation and qualification scheme to cover EV's. This scheme is now ready for introduction in January 2011, it is hoped this scheme will provide a much higher level of competency across the Motor Trade when dealing with this exciting technology.
There will also be increased choice for the consumer and by not being tied to a specific manufacturers dealer network for servicing and repairs, there is likely to be a benefit in terms of both convenience and cost.
