Hybrid And Electric Vehicle Article Hotspot

Since hybrid and electric vehicles first started becoming relevant, members of the collision repair industry have required as much knowledge as possible on these subjects. I-CAR’s Repairability Technical Support (RTS) team continues to be on the leading edge of research and education. Our goal is to help communicate information to the industry, and a great way to do this is through Collision Repair News articles.

We have compiled a list of some of the publications proven to be the most helpful when dealing with hybrid and electric vehicles. From general/safety information, to OEM-specific information, to related I-CAR courses, there’s something for everyone. This "hotspot" is also available on the OEM Hybrid And Electric Vehicle Disable Search page. We’ve broken down the list into easy to use categories so you can pick a subject and find the information you require. Make sure to check back here often, as we will continue to update this list when new information becomes available.
