EV Charging Infrastructure: AC, DC, CCS2 and Charging Stations

Electrical engineers, site engineers and technicians moving into EV charging, and anyone planning or running charging sites. Basic electrical theory is assumed.

No. It is built on NPTEL's free public lectures from IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee, credited on each module, but it is not the NPTEL programme and is not affiliated with NPTEL or the IITs. EDWartens wrote the notes, practice, project and assessment.

No. The course explains AC and DC chargers at the block level. The full IIT Roorkee lectures go deeper if you want to.

Yes. It covers IEC 61851 and its Indian adoption in the IS 17017 series, Type 2 and CCS2 connectors, India's earlier Bharat AC-001 and DC-001 standards, and the Ministry of Power's 2024 charging guidelines.

About 6.4 hours of video lessons across eight teaching modules, plus the notes, practice questions, the final assessment and an optional project of around 8 hours. At a few hours a week it fits into three to four weeks.

You plan a fast-charging hub at a highway fuel station on NH48 near Satara: the load list and charger mix, the site design basis from grid connection to OCPP, a risk register and a business case with payback. A worked sample pack shows each document.

Yes. Every module, the notes, the project and the final assessment. The only paid item is the certificate, if you want it.

An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a number anyone can verify on our site.

No. The lab is optional practice. You can skip it whenever you like, and it never blocks your progress, the final assessment or your certificate.

Yes. Every lab level for this course opens in your browser, free, with nothing to install.

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹599 including GST for this intermediate course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.

The EV Charging Infrastructure course has 9 modules. It opens with "Charging and swapping: the picture", goes through "Slow or fast: charger types", "Inside a DC charger and CCS2", "Public charging stations" and "Economics and analytics of public charging" and ends with "Final Assessment". The full list with minutes is under "What you learn" on this page.

After the EV Charging Infrastructure course: Explain AC and DC charging and where conversion happens; Calculate charging times and control pilot currents; Describe what is inside AC and DC chargers. These are the practical outcomes the course is written around, and the final assessment of 15 questions checks them.

For the EV Charging Infrastructure course, software: None required. A spreadsheet for the calculations. Hardware: none. The course itself is free.

EV Charging Infrastructure is rated intermediate. Intermediate. You should know basic electrical theory: single and three-phase supply, power and current. No power electronics background is needed; the course explains what is inside a charger at the block level. It is written for electrical and site engineers working on EV charging, and has 6h 18m of video lessons at your own pace.

Skills from the EV Charging Infrastructure course (for example: explain AC and DC charging and where conversion happens) are used in EV charging engineer work. The course gives you practical evidence of the skill; it does not promise a job, and employers decide on experience and interview.
