Electric Vehicle Systems Panel Trainer by LJ Create
Teaching the electrical system of a modern electric vehicle presents a challenge that no traditional automotive trainer can solve. The high-voltage architecture, regenerative braking integration, CAN bus communication, and on-board diagnostics of a real EV cannot be accessed safely or repeatedly in a classroom environment using an actual vehicle. Programs need a dedicated training platform that replicates the complete EV electrical system at a safe voltage level, allows students to investigate, fault-find, and measure real circuit behavior, and connects the diagnostic display to the actual signals and power flows the system produces.
The LJ Create Electric Vehicle Systems Panel Trainer is exactly that platform. It provides students and instructors with the opportunity to demonstrate, investigate, and fault-find a simulation of the electrical system of a typical electric vehicle, with a power flow mimic for regenerative braking investigation and an intelligent display panel for on-board diagnostics exploration, all at safe working voltages suitable for classroom use.
Klein Educational supplies LJ Create automotive training systems to automotive technology programs, community colleges, CTE programs, and workforce development centers across California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and Alaska.
What is the Electric Vehicle Systems Panel Trainer?
The Electric Vehicle Systems Panel Trainer is a wall-mountable or free-standing panel that presents a complete simulation of a typical EV electrical system with all primary features and components accessible for student investigation. The trainer shows both the 12V auxiliary system and the high-voltage traction system with CAN integration throughout, giving students a complete picture of how the two electrical systems coexist and interact in a real electric vehicle.
The power flow mimic is one of the trainer's most valuable instructional features. It visually illustrates the direction and magnitude of power flow through the EV system in real time, allowing students to observe what happens to power flow during acceleration, regenerative braking, charging, and auxiliary system operation. This visual power flow representation makes the abstract concept of energy management in an EV immediately concrete and observable.
On-board diagnostics representing the OBDII system can be explored via the intelligent display panel, giving students hands-on experience with the diagnostic interface they will use throughout their careers when diagnosing EV system faults. A schematic of EV circuits with test points throughout the trainer allows signal monitoring and fault-finding activities using standard automotive test equipment.
What students learn
The Electric Vehicle Systems Panel Trainer supports instruction in EV system architecture covering the relationship between the high-voltage traction system and the 12V auxiliary system, CAN bus integration across EV systems, power flow management during acceleration and regenerative braking, simulated AC and DC charging system operation, HVAC system integration for cabin and battery thermal management, OBDII diagnostic system operation and fault code interpretation, and EV circuit fault-finding using test points and appropriate diagnostic equipment.
