iVOOMi Energy, has announced a strategic partnership with the Mechanic (Repairing Shops) Association, to empower garage owners across Maharashtra. This groundbreaking initiative aims to train over 2,500 garage owners in the next six months, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge to repair and maintain electric vehicle (EV) scooters.
Upon completion of the training, these garages will be certified by iVOOMi Energy, which will also provide engineering, technical, and spare parts support to ensure trusted post-sales service for iVOOMi consumers. Currently, 17 garage owners in Pune have already commenced training, with many more set to follow.
The comprehensive training program covers various aspects of the EV business, including:
- Fundamentals of Electric Vehicles
- The Future Need of Electric Vehicles
- Different EV Parts
- Battery Technology and Maintenance
- Troubleshooting Techniques
- Scheduled Maintenance Procedures
- EV Sales, Service, and Spare Parts Business
Ashwin Bhandari, Co-Founder and CEO of iVOOMi Energy, stated, “EV two-wheelers are leading the e-mobility adoption charter in India and around the world. However, the shortage of quality after-sales service touchpoints has been a hindrance. A strong after-sales service network builds trust among existing and potential consumers and will help India transition to green mobility. By collaborating with the association, we are not just expanding our after-sales support system but also investing to build the future of e-mobility in India.”
Santosh Pawar, Vice President of the association, said, “This partnership will upskill thousands of garage owners and mechanics with the knowledge and skills to cater to the growing demand for EV maintenance services. These garage owners and mechanics will not only be able to earn a higher livelihood but also contribute to the acceleration of a greener future. We are hopeful that the success of this program will inspire other OEMs to enhance the EV maintenance and repair ecosystem in India.”
Additionally, participating garage owners are incentivized with referral bonuses for encouraging other garages to join the program, fostering a collaborative and inclusive learning environment.
