     Cox Automotive predicts electric vehicle sales in the U.S. will surpass one million units for the first time in 2023. Tire dealers that aren’t yet servicing those vehicles are missing out on opportunities to capture new customers, and retain customers who make the switch to a hybrid or EV.Craig Van Batenburg has been teaching others how to work on these vehicles for decades, and says there are baby steps owners can take to get into the high voltage business. He talks about what it takes to get started, and why business owners can no longer afford to look the other way.
