Description

Join this self-paced online learning module to find out all about Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, and the role it plays in supporting the decarbonisation of the transport industry. 

The module is designed to take between 3-4 hours to complete and can be done in one go or you can drop in and out as time allows.

Currently there are only two truly zero-emission transport technologies - Electric Vehicles (EVs) or Hydrogen. In this module we will be focusing on the infrastructure required to support EV, how they work and the different types available. 

Over this module you will:

  • Discover what Electric Vehicle Infrastructure is and how it works

  • Explore the different types of electric vehicle Infrastructure available

  • Examine how different forms of electric vehicle Infrastructure can support the decarbonisation of different types of vehicles and drivers

This self-paced online module will help you understand this amazing new technology and some of the ways it could impact your own business. Course Outline:

  • Electric Vehicle Infrastructure: An introduction to the key technical concepts of electric vehicle infrastructure.

  • Comparison of technologies: Exploring the different types of electric vehicles and how they compare and differ.

  • Applications and limitations: No technology is perfect, but all great innovators knows that the aim is to find their niche. In this section we will examine the strengths and weaknesses of each form of electric vehicle infrastructure.

  • What's next?: The transport industry is constantly innovating and developing. Here we will explore the likely future opportunities and innovations for electric vehicle infrastructure and the impact these will have on the business case for electric vehicles.

This micro-learning course is part of our Net Zero Transport Fundamentals Collection, where we look to provide bite-sized training on all the core technologies and topics relating to decarbonising the transport industry. It is highly recommended that learners complete the “Electric & Hybrid Vehicles” course before starting this one, as it is assumed that the learner on this course has a strong understanding of electric vehicles.
