As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to grow, the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) has released three new online training courses that address the “energization” of EV chargers. The courses are designed for local government officials and utility staff—two groups with a critical role in getting EVs implemented and running.
The course series draws from a recent IREC and EPR-led technical report that outlines a roadmap for streamlining and improving EV charger energization, developed with additional project collaborators.
The project and report are funded through EPRI’s Charging Infrastructure Interconnection Simplification Resource (CIISR) project, a U.S. Department of Energy initiative. The course for local government staff also draws from IREC’s Charging Smart program, which provides free technical assistance to communities working to expand EV charging infrastructure.
The free, self-paced courses are live on HeatSpring, and include:
“These courses provide local government officials and utility staff with insights to safely and efficiently manage the growing volume of EV charger projects,” said Chris Nichols, IREC Interim CEO. “By equipping these critical stakeholders with practical tools and knowledge, we can help speed the transition to clean transportation.”
