EVs are already showing up in your market.

The first wave is aging out of warranty. Used EVs are getting cheaper. More customers are bringing them into independent shops.

And most shops are still saying:

> “We don’t work on EVs.”

That’s money walking out the door. Read more about [The EV Service Gap](https://newsletter.legacyev.com/hubfs/EV%20Service%20Gap%20Guide.pdf)

## The Reality

You don’t need to know everything about EVs to start.

Most EV service work comes down to:

- High-voltage safety
- Basic system understanding
- Knowing what jobs to take and what to pass on

That’s it.

---

## A Practical Way to Get Started

Our **2-Day EV Repair Training** is built for working shops.

Not a deep dive. Not a full overhaul.

Just the essentials to help you:

- Work safely
- Understand EV systems
- Start taking the right jobs

---

## The Opportunity

Right now:

- Hundreds of thousands of EVs are already out of warranty
- That number will double in the next few years
- Most shops still aren’t taking the work

Even a small share of that market can turn into real revenue.

## Bottom Line

You don’t have to like EVs.

You just have to stop turning the work away.
