About the Course:

This EV Chassis Architecture and Body Design microcredential trains technicians to understand the structural design, components, and engineering principles used in modern battery electric vehicles (BEVs). As part of a broader EV Training Program, this course builds foundational knowledge of EV chassis systems and vehicle integration. 

Learners will explore EV chassis configurations, body structures, and component integration that support vehicle safety, efficiency, and performance. The course covers skateboard chassis architecture, battery pack integration, frame construction, crash protection systems, suspension mounting, and lightweight body materials while highlighting how EV systems differ from traditional ICE vehicles. Technicians will also learn to identify structural components and understand how chassis design supports overall EV functionality and occupant safety.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the major chassis and body components used in electric vehicles
  • Understand skateboard chassis architecture and battery pack integration
  • Recognize the role of lightweight materials in EV body construction
  • Explain how chassis design affects vehicle stability, efficiency, and performance
  • Identify structural reinforcement and crash protection systems in EVs
  • Understand suspension and drivetrain mounting locations within EV chassis systems
  • Interpret basic EV body design layouts and structural configurations
  • Verify proper chassis and body alignment considerations during inspection and maintenance

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
