⚡ Product of the Week: EV Trainer Cart ⚡
Pick your flavor. 🔧
One cart. One drivetrain. You pick which one.
The EV Trainer Cart ships with either a NetGain Hyper 9 or a Tesla drive unit — not both. Same frame, same curriculum, same diagnostic workflow. You choose the drivetrain your students should be learning on. (Hyper 9 is the top row above, Tesla is the bottom row.)
The EV West built the EV Trainer Cart — is offered it two ways.
OPTION 1 — HYPER 9
NetGain Hyper 9 motor and SME controller. This is the drivetrain most conversion shops are running, and the one the majority of our customers build with. If your program leans toward classic conversions and aftermarket work, order this one.
OPTION 2 — TESLA
Tesla drive unit, inverter, and the CAN work behind it. This is the swap everybody wants and the one that stops most builders cold — inverter setup, CAN communication, cooling, programming. Teach it on a bench where every connection is visible before a student ever touches a car.
WHAT YOU GET EITHER WAY
A complete, running electric drivetrain on an open frame — motor, inverter, DC-to-DC converter, onboard charger, BMS, and battery pack, all of it out in the open. Nothing hidden behind a body panel, nothing simulated by a training board. These are the same components we put into customer conversions every week.
Students trace a high-voltage circuit end to end, watch the inverter work, and put a meter on a live system while it runs.
The part instructors react to: built-in diagnostic ports and sample faults. You introduce a fault, hand a student a scan tool and a multimeter, and let them find it — the same way they will do it in a shop.
What it takes to put one in your lab:
• Plugs into a standard 110V wall outlet. No electrical work, no dedicated room, no shop upgrade.
• Rolls between classrooms. 553 lbs, ADA-compliant height at 52.75 x 30.75 x 50 inches.
• Full curriculum included — lab exercises, quizzes, instructor keys, color graphics.
• Display monitor with Wi-Fi.
• Instructor training, live or virtual. Train-the-Trainer course aligned to ASE.
• Components transplant into a vehicle under 2,000 lbs when you want a rolling project.
$32,995 fully assembled and running. Financing may be available for qualified institutions.
