Congratulations to The University of Toledo Electric Vehicle Club on completing their Switch Lab EV PM/96V build during summer 2026.

Under the supervision of Dr. George Choueiri, graduate students took the project from components to a complete vehicle.

The next step is integrating the Switch Lab EV into university coursework to expand hands-on learning opportunities for undergrad students.

This is a strong example of how the Switch Lab EV can support advanced university and graduate-level programs.

We are looking forward to seeing what the University of Toledo team does next.

From Switch Lab EV #16 to the first program in Alaska.

Our September 2026 Switch Lab EV Workshop brought together 5 teachers and 2 guests from 3 schools, including educators representing two very different chapters of the Switch Lab story.

GILA - Galena Interior Learning Academy is bringing the first Switch Lab EV program to Alaska, expanding hands-on electric vehicle education into a new state and giving students access to a complete project-based learning experience.

At the same workshop, Ron Willits from College of Marin joined us to train on one of our earliest programs, Switch Lab EV #16. Ron inherited the program from a previous instructor and came to build the knowledge needed to continue using it effectively with his students.

One program represents where we started. The other represents where the Switch Lab community continues to grow.

Automotive educators attending CATEA 2026 can join Switch Vehicles for a full-day, hands-on workshop focused on the Switch Lab EV.

Led by Chuck Kauffman and Keith Fisher, this session is designed to give instructors direct experience with the systems, wiring, components, and build process behind the Switch Lab EV. It is an opportunity to see how project-based training can be used to teach modern automotive electrical and EV concepts in the classroom.

“Just give me somebody who can be trainable, who has a basic understanding of tooling, has a mechanical aptitude, can work safely.”

Caleb Perriton, CTE Director at Laramie County CC, shared what employers consistently tell him they need.

His message gets to the heart of workforce readiness. Employers need technicians who understand the fundamentals, work safely, solve problems, and adapt as technology changes.

Our latest article explores how automotive CTE programs connect ASE xEV, NC3 certifications, OSHA Outreach training, and hands-on instruction to workforce preparation.

Learn how automotive CTE programs can connect ASE xEV, NC3 certifications, workplace safety and hands-on projects to build workforce-ready skills.

This is exactly how the pathway is designed to work: build the fundamentals first, then apply those skills to larger, more complex systems.
