    EV charging point course: which book?

    Hello everyone, I am looking forward to do an EV course. The book suggested is Code of Practice Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment (4th Edition) and there is a spiral bound edition. Does anyone know if they are the same books? It is much more cheaper! Thank you
