CHARGED UP 2024

This year's San Diego Automotive Educator's Conference was held on May 2, 2024.

This event brought together roughly 150 automotive professionals, instructors, and school counselors to better understand where zero and near-zero emissions vehicle education is heading and the potential careers associated.

Thanks to our partners, attendees were able to explore exciting vehicles from Toyota, TESLA, Porsche, Rivian, Chevrolet, Revolt, Audi, and Lucid.

Attendees were able to exchange knowledge, share best practices, receive hands-on training, and discuss the latest advancements in electric vehicle technology. New and creative ways to implement EV hands-on instruction into the existing automotive curriculum will be the mainstay in the process of preparing students for careers in the evolving automotive industry.
