By 2026, mechanical servicing alone will not be enough, and technicians will be expected to combine strong diagnostic and fault-finding capability with electrical and software system awareness, safe EV and hybrid working practices, and confidence using modern diagnostic tools, making EV and hybrid awareness a baseline requirement rather than a specialist add-on.
By 2026, service teams will need strong customer communication, accurate booking and job control, confidence with digital service systems, regulatory and warranty knowledge, and effective workshop capacity planning to drive efficiency, throughput and retention.
By 2026, parts teams will need strong parts interpretation and product knowledge, reliable stock control and ordering, confidence with digital inventory systems, and understanding of EV-specific components to reduce delays, rework and lost productivity.
By 2026, managers will need strong productivity and quality control, the ability to engage, retain and develop staff, effective operational planning and decision-making, and the skills to support increasingly specialised technical teams to ensure long-term stability.
EV capability is no longer limited to technicians. By 2026, technicians must be able to work safely with high-voltage systems, service advisors must clearly explain EV servicing requirements, parts teams must manage new components and logistics, sales teams must support informed EV purchasing decisions, and managers must ensure compliance, training and strategic readiness.
As a result, EV readiness must exist across every department for businesses to operate with confidence.

Why we chose Remit? Automotive is the core for Remit..it’s also their ability to change. The automotive industry is changing massively and it’s changing quicker and quicker and Remit have that ability to change and it’s driven all the way through.
