This module will introduce the different types of EV chargers, their fundamentals, operations, charging modes, charging characteristics and the EV charging process. Coverage includes the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manual on EV and/or HEV charging and types of personal protective equipment (PPE) for operating in a high-voltage (HV) work environment.
Electric Vehicle Battery Management (16h)
This module will cover the following: Types of electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery design and configuration; EV and/or HEV battery characteristics and charging capacity; Fundamentals of EV and HEV battery charging principles; Functions and operations of battery management system; Types of tools and equipment to perform EV and HEV battery measurement; Safety procedures and methods on electrical isolation on EV and HEV battery; Methods to conduct EV and HEV battery inspection; Methods to conduct EV and HEV battery evaluation; Methods to store and transport EV and/or HEV batteries; Organisational standards operating procedures (SOPs) on EV and HEV battery management; Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manual on EV and HEV battery management; and Types of personal protective equipment (PPE) for operating in a high-voltage (HV) work environment.
Electric Vehicle Maintenance (8h)
Following the guideline of NESS TSC on Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Maintenance Management, this module covers the fundamental knowledge of EV and HEV routine servicing of non-high voltage automotive components
Course Description
Under the Singapore Green Plan 2030 (SGP30), LTA has a comprehensive EV Roadmap to ramp up the efforts for EV adoption, such as setting a target of 60,000 EV charging points by 2030. With the advancement of EV technology, the cost of buying an EV and ICE vehicle may be similar by the mid-2020s. As the prices of EVs become more attractive, and more accessibility of charging infrastructure, more car owners will buy EVs. EV is new, especially to the independent workshops, they need to upgrade their staff for the EV technology.Currently there are more than 10,000 staff working in automotive industry, government needs to spend 10 to 20 years to upgrade them on the EV technology, there is a high demand in EV training. We have been successfully conducting automotive courses for the industry, especially the hybrid vehicle technology, it will benefit us in offering the electric vehicle course.
Target Audience
This course is suitable for technicians, technical executives, customer service advisors, workshop managers, engineers and personnel in automotive engineering.TRAINER'S PROFILE
