ABCT2085 — EV Structural Damage and Repair Analysis
This course focuses on structural design, crash behavior, and repairability considerations unique to electric vehicles. Students examine battery enclosure structures, energy-absorbing frames, and body materials used in electric vehicle (EV) platforms. Emphasis is placed on understanding Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair guidelines, determining structural repair vs. replacement decisions, and applying EV-specific bonding, sectioning, and corrosion protection techniques. Students evaluate collision damage that affects battery integrity, sensor mounting points, and structural alignment, and then develop repair plans that maintain vehicle safety and manufacturer compliance.
