The Electric Vehicle (EV) Champion Training Series is hosted by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) and designed to provide fleet managers and coordinators with the skills and knowledge to become subject matter experts in EV implementation. The fourth of this four-part training focuses on considerations for EV site assessments, optimally operating a fleet of EVs, and managing workplace charging.
Below is a list of all of the courses in this series:
- EV Champion Training 1: EV Technology and Financial Considerations;
- EV Champion Training 2: EVSE Power and Installation Requirements;
- EV Champion Training 3: Performing EV Site Assessments; and
- EV Champion Training 4: Advanced Site Operations
