In August, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the launch of two online tools designed to help communities better prepare for widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). DOE has developed a template to help local governments design permits for residential EV charger installations and accelerate the approval process. DOE has also released a training video to provide inspectors and electricians with a guide to facilitate inspections and installations of home EV chargers.

Yes, you are correct. The UL University training is geared more towards commercial/public applications versus residential. Most of our work is commercial versus residential. I also have a lot of white papers, best practices, and training documentation on both EVs and EVSE in pdf from various sources that I can share if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

Thanks for sharing this link. I read the article and reviewed the permit template, and its great. I've had quite a few municipalities that we're working with who have asked for this, which I will now share. This evening I will review the training video, and I will potentially have our technicians to also view it. Another similar resource is available from UL University: http://www.uluniversity.us/catalog/display.resource.aspx?resourceid.... We had our technicians to take this course and to get certified.
Thanks,
Brian Edens
