It is widely predicted that the worldwide market for all vehicles will grow by about four percent per year over the next six years, some analysts estimate that the electric vehicle market will grow at a rate of almost 20 percent over the same time frame.

According to a report published by a leading European business forecasting company, by 2017, 3.1 percent of global auto sales will be hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. But in Europe., these vehicles will account for 5.1 percent of total domestic vehicle sales in 2017. This represents a huge expansion of EV’s or Electric Vehicles.

Alongside this, there is a massive challenge ahead, with a supply of Electric Vehicle Charging Points needed to allay “range anxiety” and to provide the kind of infrastructure to support the growth in EV sales. Coupled with  the drive towards energy efficiency and increasing concerns over the future availability of fossil fuels, vehicles using electrical power are increasingly being used in the UK. To facilitate the use of these vehicles, charging equipment is increasingly becoming a necessity, to keep up with power source demands

This 1 day course is designed to provide delegates with the necessary information and background in this important area.

Entirely based around the IET’s Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, the course itself provides delegates with the underpinning knowledge of the special requirements in the area of EV electrical installations

This course is aimed at experienced electricians interested in understanding a wide range of equipment and systems available, it covers the specialised installation requirements of electric vehicle charging equipment in public, private and commercial locations. It is also suitable for those who are seeking more information about EV charging points.

Delegates attending this course must already have a thorough understanding of the requirements of the current edition of BS 7671; either through constant and regular reference, and/or through achieving a qualification, such as City & Guilds 2382-18 (or recognised equivalent), and an understanding of the practical disciplines for installation methods of cabling (within internal and external environments).

 

It is also expected that those attending have knowledge and understanding of the inspection and testing (in particular; Initial verification) procedures, as per the requirements of BS 7671 and IET Guidance Note 3*.

 

*NOTE: Those not having this understanding, may consider completing City & Guilds 2392 (or recognised equivalent) prior to attending this course.
