Train your team to handle high-voltage systems with precision, confidence, and zero compromise on safety.
This immersive VR experience places participants in the heart of electric vehicle maintenance, guiding them through the step-by-step process of safely depowering and re-initialising battery electric vehicles; with lifelike tools, components, and guided procedures, users gain critical hands-on experience, without the real-world risk.
Working on battery EVs is high-stakes mistakes here can cost lives, not just downtime.
Participants are placed in a realistic maintenance environment where they must:
- Safely isolate and depower high-voltage components using correct procedures.
- Select and apply the appropriate PPE and specialised tooling.
- Navigate risk scenarios that simulate real-world electric vehicle faults.
- Follow strict sequences to re-initialise vehicle systems post-maintenance.
- Build confidence in high-voltage awareness and safe system handling.
This high-impact simulation builds the practical skill set needed to work on electric vehicles safely—making it essential for technicians transitioning into EV servicing and maintenance roles.

Safely depower and reinitialize battery electric vehicles (EVs):
- Follow industry best practices.
- Understand the dangers of high voltage systems, including how to identify active systems and the risks of improper handling.
Prepare and use all required equipment:
- High-voltage PPE (gloves, arc flash shield, insulating mat)
- Multimeter for live-dead-live testing
- Service signage (roof signs, caution signs)
- Lockable toolbox and glove inflator
Implement proper depowering procedures:
- Verifying the vehicle is off and securing the key fob
- Reviewing technical documentation and vehicle-specific shutdown procedures
- Disconnecting the 12V battery and high-voltage service plug
- Waiting for full capacitor discharge
- Performing live-dead-live tests to confirm the system is safe
Safely reinitialize the system after maintenance:
- Reversing the depowering steps
- Reconnecting the service plug and 12V battery
- Confirming vehicle readiness via dashboard indicators
Apply safety frameworks:
- “One-Hand Rule”
- Proper PPE inspections
- Prevent electrical shock
A. Introduction
- Highlights the real-life dangers of working on EVs without proper depowering.
B. Discovery Phase
- Interactive questions to check learner understanding of EV hazards and safe practices.
C. Instructional Walkthrough
- Step-by-step guide for the depowering and reinitializing process
- Visual cues
- Voice-over prompts
- Tool interaction and teleportation
D. Practice Phase
- Learners are guided to complete tasks semi-independently with reminders and corrections for unsafe behavior.
E. Exam Phase
- A full procedural assessment of the learner's ability to perform all safety steps without direct guidance.
- Evaluates performance based on correct sequencing, equipment usage, and safety compliance.
F. Results Review
- Detailed feedback on missed steps, incorrect actions (e.g., skipping PPE checks), and successes.

CONTACT USWhat is Custom VR Builds?
It’s a service where Next World creates a fully tailored VR-training solution for your company — a custom course built to meet your industry-specific requirements rather than using a generic off-the-shelf VR module.
How does the custom-build process work?
The process typically follows these phases: you provide training documentation, subject-matter experts get involved, learning outcomes are identified, storyboard is created, virtual assets are modeled, testing and quality assurance, and finally deployment in your environment.
What type of training scenarios can be built?
You can build VR scenarios for hazard awareness, safe-practice with tools and equipment, practicing safety procedures step-by-step, and even testing learner’s knowledge in simulated hazardous situations — as if in real life but safe.
Is custom VR suitable for refresher training as well?
Yes — custom VR builds can be used for refresher/training-update courses to efficiently refresh skills and knowledge without re-arranging real equipment or putting people at risk.
What learning methodology does custom VR follow?
Next World suggests a blended approach: combining face-to-face, practical and immersive training methods, which helps improve retention, practical competence, and reduces incidents.
