Niagara College will be launching an electric vehicle (EV) safety training pilot program thanks to a $450K pledge from RBC Foundation. The EV First Responders Training pilot program will teach students how to manage EVs in emergency situations. It is offered at no cost and is specifically designed for paramedics, firefighters, police officers, automotive technicians, and students in other related programs. Students will learn essential skills such as managing lithium-ion battery fires, immobilizing EVs, and using personal protective equipment correctly. Niagara anticipates training 2,400 students over a three-year period.
