EV skills in Canada
Canada's EV policy and industry, as of 2025
Parliament Hill, Canada
In September 2025 the federal government paused the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard for the 2026 model year and launched a 60-day review. The standard had required 20% of new light-duty sales to be zero-emission in 2026, rising to 100% by 2035.
Battery manufacturing is still taking shape. The NextStar Energy plant in Windsor, Ontario, a Stellantis and LG Energy Solution venture with a design capacity of 49.5 GWh a year, finished construction in 2025 and is first serving energy storage while EV demand recovers.
Federal standard paused
The 2026 EV sales target was waived in September 2025 while the government reviewed the policy.
Windsor battery plant
NextStar's Windsor factory is built for 49.5 GWh a year of capacity.
Regulated trades
Automotive Service Technician is a compulsory, Red Seal trade in Ontario.

Studying from Canada
How the training works
1. Enrol online
Apply from Canada, and our admissions team shares the fees, payment options and batch dates for your country.
2. Learn live and on demand
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
3. Build and simulate
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home; ask the team about shipping to your country.
4. Go hands-on (optional)
Some programmes include hands-on workshops at our centres in India for work on batteries, motors, controllers and diagnostics.
5. Get certified
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
Certificates and EV work rules in Canada
Automotive repair is a regulated trade in several provinces. In Ontario, for example, Automotive Service Technician (310S) is compulsory and Red Seal-endorsable, so you must hold a training agreement or certificate of qualification and be on the Skilled Trades Ontario register to work in the trade. High-voltage authorisation is then set by employers. Our certificate does not replace a provincial trade certificate, a Red Seal endorsement or employer authorisation.
FAQs
EV training in Canada: common questions
Is the EV course in Canada available in every province?
Yes. It is online, so learners in any province or territory can enrol and study on the portal.
How do class times work across Canadian time zones?
India is 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of Canada, depending on province and daylight saving. Expect some live classes in your early morning or late evening, with recordings for everything.
Is the certificate recognised by provincial trade bodies?
No. Provincial trade certification and Red Seal are separate systems with their own apprenticeship and exam rules. Our certificate shows EV training completed.
Can I keep working while I study?
Yes. Most learners study part-time; recorded lessons let you set your own weekly pace within the programme schedule.
Is there practical work for Canadian learners?
There is an optional DIY electronics kit sold separately; ask the team about shipping to Canada. Hands-on workshops are held only at DIYguru centres in India.
How are fees paid from Canada?
The admissions team shares fees and payment options for Canadian learners when you enquire.
What time are the live classes in Canada?
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Canada is 10 hours 30 minutes behind India (IST). A class at 7:00 pm IST starts at 8:30 am your time. Most sessions are recorded to your learner portal, so you can catch up when a class falls outside your hours.
Which is the best EV course in Canada?
The best course depends on your background. For most learners in Canada we suggest the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in Battery and BMS Design, Analysis, & Simulation or the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in EV Engineering, Design, Simulations, and Analysis; our admissions team can compare options against your experience and goals.
How long does an electric vehicle course take?
Professional Certification Programmes run for about 3 months, the CEVT technician programme 3 months, Advanced Nanodegrees 6 months and the Post Graduate programme 12 months.
Is there EV training near me in Canada?
We do not run a campus in Canada. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Canada; hands-on workshops, where a programme includes them, take place at our centres in India.
Can a car mechanic in Canada learn EV repair online?
Yes. The CEVT programme covers EV batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics for two- and four-wheelers, with an optional hands-on workshop in India. Always follow your employer's high-voltage safety rules before working on a vehicle.
Which EV programme suits an engineering graduate?
Electrical and electronics engineers usually pick the EV modelling or battery and BMS Nanodegrees, mechanical engineers the EV automotive design Nanodegree, and embedded or software engineers the embedded systems or ADAS & AUTOSAR tracks.
