Bolt.Earth, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, has partnered with the Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC) to offer comprehensive training on EV infrastructure to India’s automotive workforce. The collaboration aims to bridge the knowledge gaps in the industry regarding EV load estimations, load balancing, and safety parameters. The course, developed in partnership with ASDC, will provide a deep understanding of Level-1, Level-2, and Level-3 chargers, as well as an overview of the EV charging infrastructure as a whole.
The collaboration between Bolt.Earth and ASDC comes as a response to the growing demand for EVs in India and the need to educate and upskill the workforce to meet this demand effectively. The lack of education and training in the automotive industry, particularly concerning EVs, has been identified as a major challenge. By equipping individuals with the necessary knowledge through this course, the partnership aims to encourage indigenous skill development and innovation, supporting the expansion of EV charging infrastructure throughout the country.
Mohit Yadav, the founder of Bolt.Earth, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, We’re solidifying our leadership position even further through this partnership and, at the same time, preparing for widespread EV adoption and innovation through industry education and skills development. He believes that Bolt.Earth’s expertise in the EV space makes them the ideal partner for providing specialized training materials.
ASDC CEO Arindam Lahiri echoed Yadav’s sentiments, highlighting the transformative opportunity this partnership brings to India’s automotive workforce. The virtual course offered through ASDC’s platform will equip individuals with the essential knowledge of EV infrastructure. Registration for the course is now open and completely free, addressing the accessibility aspect of skill development.
To be eligible for registration, individuals must have a background in Electrical/Electronics, preferably through ITI, Diploma, B.Tech, AMIE, or have relevant experience in the Automotive/EV industry. Lahiri emphasized the inclusive nature of the eligibility criteria and the value that a diverse pool of participants can bring to the course.
Bolt.Earth’s collaboration with ASDC aligns with the council’s commitment to driving sustainability in the automotive industry and prioritizing local skill development. By addressing the shortage of skilled EV workers, this effort contributes to India’s efforts to promote cleaner mobility and reduce carbon emissions.
To register for the course and take advantage of this valuable opportunity for upskilling in the automotive industry, individuals can visit ASDC’s website and sign up. The collaboration between Bolt.Earth and ASDC offers a promising prospect for the Indian automotive industry, ensuring that the workforce is equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the evolving demands of the EV market.
