    EVSE Training

    Does anyone know of any City & Guilds 2919-01 (Electric Vehicle Charging Courses) - this side of the Irish Sea? The only course I can find is an NICEIC course which I'm assuming doesn't award the C&G qualification.

    Looks like the government are fiddling again. Funding for domestic EV charging points, which should carry on until March 2015, may be pulled as soon as TWO WEEKS time. These people have absolutely zero idea of how a SME works. The domestic EV charging point scheme has attracted praise and...
