EV Charging Infrastructure Design Masterclass
The EV revolution is creating unprecedented demand for engineers who understand charging infrastructure. In this course, you'll learn the complete methodology for designing EV charging systems, including charger selection, load assessments, electrical distribution, cable sizing, transformer sizing, protection coordination, and IEC standards compliance. Built from real project experience, this training provides practical skills you can immediately apply to commercial, fleet, and public charging installations.
The EV boom is here. Are your designs keeping up?
Clients are asking for EV charging on every commercial brief. Fleet operators are calling for depot solutions. Utility companies are pushing back with grid concerns you’ve never had to address before.
Most electrical engineers learned their trade before EV infrastructure existed as a discipline. There’s no single resource that brings together the standards, the sizing methodology, and the real-world pitfalls — until now.
This course is built for you if you are…
- An electrical or consulting engineer new to EV infrastructure design
- An EPC contractor who needs to price and build EV sites with confidence
- A facility or building services engineer planning an EV rollout
- A solar installer expanding your scope to include EV charging
- A senior engineering student preparing to enter the industry
After this course, you’ll be able to…
✓ Explain the full EV infrastructure ecosystem and each stakeholder’s role
✓ Specify IEC-compliant protection, earthing, and RCD requirements from memory
✓ Choose AC vs DC based on dwell time, CapEx, and revenue modelling
✓ Size chargers using connected load, diversity, and maximum demand
✓ Size transformers accounting for harmonics, voltage drop, and expansion
✓ Size cables across all four checks: CCC, voltage drop, short-circuit, Zs
✓ Produce a full engineering package: SLD, load schedule, calculation pack
✓ Avoid the six most common EV design mistakes that cause on-site problems
FAQ
Do I need a specific background?
Yes — you should be comfortable with basic circuit theory, reading drawings, and working with IEC standards. This is not an introductory electrical course.
How long is access?
Lifetime access. All future updates included at no extra cost.
Is this relevant outside South Africa?
Yes. Built on IEC 61851, 62196, and 60364-7-722 — used across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Australasia. Module 2 covers BS 7671, SANS 10142, AS/NZS 3000, and more.
How long to complete?
6–8 hours of video. Add 2–4 hours if you work through all calculation examples — strongly recommended.
Is there a certificate?
Yes — Teachable issues a certificate of completion at 80%+ of content completed.
What if I’m not satisfied?
Full 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

Instructor Bio
I'm M. Shezi, a consulting electrical engineer with 20+ years of experience in power systems, industrial electrical design, and EV infrastructure. I've designed EV charging systems for commercial car parks, logistics depots, and municipal fleets. I created this course because practical, engineering-focused EV training was hard to find. You'll learn the same standards-based methodology and real-world design approach I use on actual projects.
Testimonial
"The course connected EV charging theory to real engineering practice. I finally understood charger sizing, load management, and grid integration."
