INFRASTRUCTURE
What Ghana Needs Before Commercial EV Adoption Can Scale
Why vehicle importation without dedicated depot charging and grid synchronization guarantees project stagnation.
WORKFORCE BLUEPRINT
Solving the Technical Bottleneck
The greatest existential threat to electric mobility in Africa is not vehicle availability, but technical support capacity. Without certified high-voltage technicians, minor electronic faults ground vehicles indefinitely.
Axtro is executing an institutional partnership with the Commission for TVET in Ghana to establish formal curriculum standards, hands-on diagnostic bay training, and certified career tracks for young technicians.
Target Training Cohort: 250+ certified technicians per annum through our central academy.
Mechanic Transition: Retraining traditional ICE roadside mechanics into high-voltage EV specialists.
Accredited Certification: National TVET diploma and OEM manufacturer safety endorsement.
Curriculum Pillars
The 4 Technical Focus Areas
High-Voltage Electrical Safety & Arc Flash (NFPA 70E)
Insulation testing, personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and live bay isolation.
Battery Pack Architecture & Thermal Engineering
Cell balancing, BMS state-of-health diagnostics, thermal dissipation diagnostics, and individual module reconditioning.
Powertrain & Inverter Control Systems
Permanent magnet motor diagnostics, regenerative brake calibration, and high-voltage DC-DC converter repair.
Charging Stations & Microgrid Integration
AC Level 2 and DC Fast-Charger commissioning, OCPP software communication, smart energy metering, and BESS buffers.
COMMERCIAL FLEET TRAINING PLATFORM
Hands-On Training on Production EVs
Technicians train directly on Ghana's commercial fleet workhorses: the GAC Aion S and Venucia D60EV.
