The installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) stands out as one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and globally. Over the next decade, millions of electric vehicles, spanning cars, trucks, and SUVs, are anticipated to be on the roads. In alignment with environmental goals, the U.S. government aims for all automobiles to be battery-powered by 2035, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. To achieve this, numerous charging stations must be constructed in diverse locations such as parking lots, garages, and roadside electric poles. Consequently, there is a burgeoning demand for millions of EVCS installers, troubleshooters, and service providers across the United States and other countries.

Course Summary
The electric vehicle (EV) and EV charger installation industry is rapidly expanding in the United States and globally. Over the next decade, there will be a substantial increase in the number of electric cars, trucks, and SUVs on the roads. In alignment with environmental goals, the U.S. government aims to transition all automobiles to battery-powered by 2035, aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This shift necessitates the establishment of millions of charging stations in various locations such as parking lots, garages, and roadside electric poles. Consequently, there is a growing demand for millions of EVCS installers, troubleshooters, and service providers worldwide.
The comprehensive course will cover the entire spectrum of EVCS, encompassing design, installation, operation, and troubleshooting. Additionally, the curriculum will delve into the design and calculation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and batteries for EVCS installations, requiring a solid foundation in mathematical and electrical calculations.
The class will be conducted on the Zoom platform, and participants will receive a Zoom link via email prior to each session. Both homework assignments and in-class exams will be administered through Zoom. Upon achieving 100% attendance, participants will receive a completion certificate for the 20-hour course. The course fee of $200.00 covers class materials and lectures.

Meet the Instructor
Hailing from Bangladesh, Mr. Quayum Abdul has successfully earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees in physics. His penchant for writing and translation traces its roots to his student days in Bangladesh. Beginning in 1984, Mr. Quayum actively immersed himself in the field of solar power while pursuing an M.Phil. at Dhaka University. Furthermore, since 2010, he has resumed his role as an educator, imparting knowledge on solar PV design, installation, and troubleshooting at numerous community colleges across California, spanning from the southern to northern regions. Throughout his tenure in Solar PV, he made significant contributions, resulting in 20 global scientific publications.
In 2020, Mr. Quayum Abdul broadened his instructional focus to encompass guiding students in the design, installation, and troubleshooting of electric vehicle charging stations at various community colleges in California. Currently, he is actively curating educational materials, including textbooks, tailored for students concentrating on Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) and solar photovoltaics.
