Advanced Electric Motor Conversion Training at Vocational High Schools and Motorcycle Workshops in Kotabumi, North Lampung

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program designed to convert conventional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric motors. This initiative is in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, which emphasizes access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The program seeks to address environmental issues related to vehicle emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. This study used a qualitative approach, assessing the structure, content and outcomes of the training program through participant feedback and performance evaluation. It involved a collaboration between PT. PLN (Persero) Lampung Distribution Unit and Elders Garage, with a focus on developing practical skills in electric motor technology. Data collection included surveys and interviews with participants to measure their understanding and application of conversion techniques. Findings showed that participants showed significant improvements in their technical skills related to electric motor conversion. The training not only improved their knowledge but also increased their confidence in carrying out the conversion independently. In addition, the program contributed to reducing vehicle emissions by promoting the use of electric motors, thereby supporting the broader goals of sustainable energy solutions and environmental protection.
