    The title “Vehicle programming class focuses on EVs and PHEVs” is a little misleading. “programming”means to me adding new software. This class is more about technical issues and the technology that makes these cars work. It is geared for techs that work on 12 volt systems and want to Hybrid and EVs to that knowledge.

      Hey Craig, perhaps you’re right but the AIA is calling it “Vehicle Programming Today!”. So that is the root of any disconnect in wording.
