DC Fast Charging

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are not created equal; they have different capabilities to accommodate the varying needs of EV drivers. Presented here are the types of EV charging stations and their suitable applications, followed by an in-depth discussion of DC fast charging solutions, their benefits, and charging station site planning and design considerations and guidelines.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Identify the types of EVs on the market, and discuss Levels 1 and 2, and DC fast charging stations and the user needs they are designed to meet.
  • Explain how implementing DC fast charging can help industries meet emerging government regulations and achieve sustainability goals.
  • Summarize how paired DC fast charging station installations, power management software, and power modules can be used to regulate and minimize total energy consumption.
  • Outline how the DC fast charging station site planning considerations and guidelines related to lighting and security, visibility and signage, parking spaces, and avoiding hazards ensure safety and accessibility for all EV station users and pedestrian traffic.
  • Recall key civil, mechanical, and electrical DC fast charging station site design considerations for the safe and effective installation and operation of charging equipment.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
