英国电动汽车技术人员短缺：IMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMI TechSafe 警告称，仅有四分之一的英国技术人员拥有电动汽车认证

According to IMI TechSafe, only 25% of UK vehicle technicians have formal qualifications to service or repair electric vehicles.

Certifications are concentrated in franchised dealer networks, with independent garages and rural areas having far fewer qualified staff.

EV qualification growth dropped 13% in Q3 due to mixed government messages on electric motoring and economic pressures halting training investments.

Rental and fleet operators face longer vehicle idle times, reliance on distant franchised dealers, and added logistical costs for EV servicing.

The slowdown could leave the UK short of workers to meet ZEV targets in the next 5-10 years, widening the skills gap further.
