44. ASE: Inside the Creation of the Definitive EV Safety Standard

In this episode of the Training Impact Podcast, Jeff Walter sits down with Corey Glassman to explore how ASE developed a national EV safety standard and what that means for technician certification and workforce readiness.

As electric vehicles become mainstream, the automotive industry faces new safety challenges tied to high voltage systems, battery technology, and advanced diagnostics. Rather than reacting passively to change, ASE took deliberate action and developed a formal EV safety standard designed to define competence, reduce risk, and strengthen technician performance across the industry.

Corey shares the story behind the creation of the EV safety standard, including why it was necessary, how it was structured, and how it now shapes certification pathways. The discussion highlights how clear standards reduce variability across service networks, improve safety outcomes, and elevate the professional identity of technicians working on electric vehicles.

If you care about EV certification, technician development, automotive workforce strategy, or the future of service standards, this conversation delivers critical insight into how ASE is anchoring the industry during a major technological shift.
