Craig Van Batenberg Craig Van Batenberg of Automotive Career Development Center (ACDC)

Topic:

Current Guide to Hybrids, EVs, and Charging Stations

To stay current with changes in automotive technology, the Automotive Career Development Center (ACDC) employs local college students, typically in electrical and mechanical engineering, to assist in the research of the newer EMV’s that come to market. ACDC also hired three local technicians from Massachusetts shops that work on HEVs and EVs daily. These techs, Jeff, Matt, and George help keep ACDC up-to-date on the latest innovations, tools, and equipment. The people at ACDC, along with Craig’s decades of knowledge and leadership, make ACDC a unique training company. During the pandemic, Craig took a huge cut in pay to keep the staff working and gave them two pay raises. The 15 EMVs owned by ACDC range from the most popular models to current EVs.
