Build proficiency with electric vehicle charging stations
Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) training presents a unique set of challenges for teachers: technical complexity, technological advancements, the need for extensive hands-on training, strict safety protocols, high industry expectations, and the lack of specialized curriculum for this emerging field—just to name a few.
How do you find resources and guidance to confidently and efficiently deliver essential training and prepare skilled technicians and electricians to meet the demands of a fast-growing industry?
A new learning solution is now available: the Electric Vehicle AC Charging Station.
A course and training equipment help you develop job-relevant skills for commissionning, maintaining, and troubleshooting level 2 charging stations installed in North America and Japan.*
Highlights:
- Aligned with the main requirements of SAE International and EVITP certifications
- Multimedia course with a focus on problem solving and hands-on experimentation
- Advanced electric vehicle simulator to study various charging systems dynamics
- State-of-the-art charge controller ready for future technologies and custom projects
- Multi-station connectivity for the study of load management
- Fault switches emulate commonly encountered issues by field technicians
* For Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Autralia, the "Type 2" EV AC Charging Station is available for training on Mode 3 charging systems.
A flexible course expedites lesson planning and facilitates topic integration into your program.
The ready-to-use course is well structured and developed in collaboration with industry experts and teachers for high industry relevance. Clear objectives and hands-on learning activities keep students engaged. Interactive animations deepen understanding of abstract concepts and accommodate different learning styles. End-of-course assessment facilitates evaluation. The course is available in digital format on Festo LX (subscription required) or as a PDF workbook (campus license).
Overall learning objectives:
- Identify key components of residential and commercial level 2 charging stations and understand their interactions.
- Follow a commissioning procedure and acquire systematic troubleshooting techniques to address common issues.
- Use specialized instruments to measure, observe communication signals, and test installations.
- Explore strategies for efficient load management across multiple networked stations.
- Understand the scope and applications of ISO 15118 and the role of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
Practical tasks are performed on modules optimized for training purposes.
The modules represent the key components of typical residential and commercial wall-mounted charging stations. Learners get a clear view of the inner workings of the system and hands-on experience with equipment that is typically concealed behind a cover.
- Split-phase power supply
- EVSE metering and authentication
- Electric vehicle supply equipment
- Electric vehicle
Modules can be used as tabletop units or mounted into a workstation with A4-compatible rails. For convenience, the package includes modules and all necessary accessories. The learning system can be powered by a standard electrical outlet. The course is sold separately.
Three standout features elevate the learning experience:
Advanced EV simulator
Users can switch between different EV types to explore various charging behaviors, with an LCD screen providing real-time, in-depth insights into the charging dynamics.
Multi-station connectivity
Several stations can be interconnected, creating a charging network that allows for the study of real-time load management.
Fault switches
Switch faults allow the injection of the most common issues encountered by field technicians, creating realistic troubleshooting scenarios.
„ The EV Charging Station gives teachers the tools they need to help learners prepare for certification exams or secure jobs with EV charging station manufacturers, installation and maintenance companies, or charging network operators.
We reviewed major industry certifications to align learning objectives and activities, collaborating with charging station manufacturers and technical teachers along the way. The result is a pragmatic learning solution that meets a wide range of training needs. ”
