Abstract

Introducing battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology to an organization is challenging due to the existing negative perceptions of high-voltage battery systems among various stakeholders. This knowledge gap must be addressed, to prioritize safety, productivity, and practical applications of BEVs as we move closer to Carbon Neutrality mandates. Successful implementation requires a change management process that educates and trains stakeholders on battery and safety systems. This course offers an overview of BEV safety systems and current technology status, as well as an interactive workshop to identify the challenges within organizations and supply chains. It concludes with a guide on change management for approaching the complexities of adopting BEV technology in your operations.
