What you'll learn

  • Explain EV charging levels and modes and choose the right charging type for a given use case
  • Identify the main AC and DC connector standards, including CCS, CHAdeMO, Type 2 and GB/T
  • Select sites for urban, highway, residential and fleet charging using demand and access criteria
  • Plan grid integration and use smart charging and load balancing to manage peak demand
  • Specify the main components of a charging station, from charger hardware to management software
  • Compare subscription, pay-per-use and free charging business models for different markets
  • Build a simple ROI case covering hardware, installation, operation and revenue
  • Factor government incentives, grants and subsidies into a charging investment decision
  • Assess V2G, wireless charging, battery swapping and megawatt charging as future options

Course content

6 sections • 24 lectures • 4h 10m total length

  • Introduction – Why EV Charging Infrastructure is Critical to the Future of Mobil10:06

    Why charging infrastructure is the deciding factor in electric vehicle adoption, and why EVs need strategically placed, accessible and efficient charging stations.

  • How Electric Vehicles Work – Energy Consumption, Battery Technology & Charging B10:20

    How electric vehicles turn stored battery energy into motion, how energy consumption and battery technology work, and the basics of charging.

  • EV Charging Infrastructure Overview – Public vs Private Charging Networks10:07

    How EV charging infrastructure is structured, and the differences between public and private charging networks in purpose, access and use.

  • Key Stakeholders – Government, Utilities, Charging Networks, and Automakers10:55

    The roles of governments, utilities, charging network operators and automakers in building and running the EV charging ecosystem.

  • Section 1 Quiz: Introduction to Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Requirements

  • No prior EV or charging infrastructure knowledge is required — the course starts from the basics
  • Any engineering, technical, business or planning background is enough to follow the course
  • Some basic electrical knowledge helps, but the key concepts are explained as they come up
  • No software or purchases needed

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.


A charging site that looks simple on a map is a grid connection, a power electronics installation, a software platform and a business case all at once.


Get any one of those wrong and the site is slow, underused or never pays back. Most failures come from the gaps between the technical and the commercial side.


This course covers both — the charging technology and standards, how sites are planned and connected to the grid, and how charging networks make money.


In this course you will learn how to plan, specify and assess EV charging infrastructure.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN TO DO

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Explain Level 1, Level 2 and DC fast charging and where each one fits
  • Identify the main connector standards — CCS, CHAdeMO, Tesla, Type 1, Type 2 and GB/T
  • Select sites for urban, highway, residential and fleet charging
  • Plan grid integration, smart charging and load balancing for a charging network
  • Specify the main components of a charging station — chargers, cables, software and power management
  • Compare business models and build a simple return on investment case
  • Account for government incentives, grants and subsidies
  • Assess emerging options such as V2G, wireless charging, battery swapping and megawatt charging


HOW THE COURSE IS TAUGHT

  • Built from how an electric vehicle uses energy, up to full network planning
  • Technical and commercial topics covered side by side
  • A case study comparing the profitability of public and private charging networks
  • Plain explanations with no specialist software needed


WHAT IS COVERED

  • Why EV charging infrastructure matters and who the key stakeholders are
  • How electric vehicles use energy, battery technology and charging behaviour
  • Charging levels, charging modes 1 to 4 and power supply considerations
  • DC fast charging standards and AC charging connectors
  • Ultra-fast and high-power charging from 150 kW upward
  • Site selection, grid integration, smart charging and load balancing
  • Charging station components and business models
  • Costs, ROI, incentives and financial projections
  • Wireless charging, V2G, battery swapping, megawatt charging and AI-driven networks


100 PRACTICE QUESTIONS

Every section ends with a quiz built around realistic scenarios, so you test your understanding as you go and reinforce what you have learned. Each answer comes with a short explanation.
