Guyana increases its trained workforce for electric and hybrid vehicle upkeep after the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) completes another training cohort. A further 25 auto electricians and mechanical technicians graduate from the GEA’s Electric Vehicle/Hybrid Maintenance and Repairs programme, bringing the total number of locally trained technicians to 102.
The training is presented as part of broader efforts to build technical capacity for sustainable transport. Both outlets describe the GEA programme as specialised and ongoing, with the latest intake forming the fifth programme cycle. The Guyana Chronicle also links the skills push to infrastructure expansion, stating that public charging stations are set to increase from nine to 24 by year’s end. INews Guyana focuses more directly on the benefits to technicians and the completion of the most recent programme. The shared emphasis is on growing local capability to maintain and repair EVs and hybrids as Guyana scales related services.
