Practice What You Learn - G Truglia and Pete Meier [RR 784]

The proverb 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing' expresses the idea that a small amount of knowledge can mislead people into thinking that they are more expert than they are, which can lead to mistakes being made. When it comes to repairing EV/Hybrids, the era of being a parts changer, I'm told,  is nonexistent. We recorded live at Dorman with G Truglia and Pete Meier, 2 out of 4 trainers for a weekend of hands-on training.  Listen to their perspectives on EV/Hybrid repair and training and why critical thinking is more important than ever.

Comprehensive understanding.   How many shops are doing EV/Hybrid the right way? 60 volts can stop your heart and kill you “A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Connect with th
