Electric Drive Vehicle Infrastructure Training Courses
This two day course helps participants understand who has the authority to make decisions regarding jurisdiction, applied voltage and amperage versus supply equipment charging capacities, and understand electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), battery capacity, and charge time. The introduction of electric drive vehicles requires a unique infrastructure that includes specialized charging equipment and adequate electric service. Electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is a carefully planned network that safely allows electricity to flow from a designated power source to an electric vehicle. The installation of electric vehicle infrastructure is an essential component for the sustainability of the electric vehicle market.
