Electric Mobility Policy and Regulation Training Course

Participants can construct a policy logic model and select instruments matched to defined barriers.

• Theory-of-change models link interventions, outputs, outcomes and long-term transport objectives
• SMART targets distinguish vehicle uptake, charger availability, utilisation and emissions reduction
• Instrument selection compares mandates, incentives, information, standards and public investment
• Policy sequencing identifies prerequisites before imposing vehicle or charging obligations
• Additionality tests separate induced investments from purchases that would occur anyway
• Distributional analysis examines impacts on renters, rural users, small firms and low-income households

Participants can assess charging infrastructure needs using demand, location and delivery criteria.

• Charging-use cases distinguish home, workplace, destination, depot and corridor charging
• Demand forecasts combine vehicle ownership, travel patterns, dwell time and charging behaviour
• Location screening applies accessibility, grid capacity, land tenure and safety criteria
• Service-area analysis identifies coverage gaps using travel-time and charger-density measures
• Public charging targets avoid misleading comparisons based solely on charger counts
• Phased deployment plans match charger power, utilisation expectations and capital availability
• Site-readiness checklists cover permits, connection capacity, civil works and communications

Participants can define market roles, licensing requirements and access rules for charging services.

• Market-role mapping separates electricity supply, charging operation, roaming and payment services
• Licensing thresholds distinguish small private installations from public charging networks
• Third-party access rules address exclusivity, site control and discriminatory service conditions
• Concession models allocate demand risk, construction duties and performance obligations
• Minimum-service requirements specify uptime, accessibility, maintenance response and customer support
• Competition assessments identify foreclosure risks involving utilities, platforms and property owners
• Regulatory sandboxes test novel business models under defined consumer safeguards

Participants can translate charging interoperability and consumer-protection requirements into enforceable rules.

• ISO 15118 enables vehicle-to-charger communication, authentication and managed-charging functions
• OCPP 2.0.1 governs charger-to-management-system messages, security and device management
• IEC 61851 defines conductive charging modes, control functions and safety requirements
• Ad hoc payment requirements prevent exclusion of users without network subscriptions
• Price-transparency rules address units, session fees, idle fees and taxation
• Roaming arrangements enable access between charging networks through interoperable settlement systems
• Data-governance controls define consent, retention, cybersecurity responsibilities and audit trails

Participants can evaluate grid impacts and select policy measures for efficient charging demand management.

• Distribution-network assessments identify coincident peak demand, transformer loading and reinforcement needs
• Hosting-capacity maps inform charger siting and transparent connection-queue management
• Time-of-use tariffs shift charging demand away from constrained network periods
• Demand charges affect commercial charging economics, utilisation thresholds and pricing strategies
• Managed charging coordinates vehicle charging with grid capacity, price signals and user preferences
• Vehicle-to-grid services require settlement rules, aggregation models and battery-warranty consideration
• Connection-cost allocation compares shallow, deep and hybrid charging infrastructure approaches

Participants can appraise fiscal instruments and establish controls for cost-effective programme delivery.

• Purchase incentives compare grants, tax credits, registration relief and feebate mechanisms
• Total-cost-of-ownership models test incentive levels against vehicle, fuel and maintenance costs
• Means testing targets public support where affordability barriers are greatest
• Scrappage schemes assess additional emissions benefits, fraud risks and administrative burden
• Charging grants distinguish eligible equipment, installation costs and grid-upgrade expenditures
• Fiscal-cost models estimate uptake scenarios, programme ceilings and multi-year budget exposure
• Sunset clauses and tapering schedules prevent permanent dependence on public subsidies

Participants can design procurement and policy measures for public fleets and heavy-duty vehicle transition.

• Fleet segmentation separates duty cycles, depot operations, payload requirements and replacement timing
• Lifecycle-cost procurement evaluates purchase price, energy, maintenance, residual value and infrastructure
• Performance specifications define range, availability, charging time and operational reliability
• Depot-charging plans coordinate fleet schedules, electrical capacity and backup arrangements
• Framework agreements manage supplier qualification, call-off procedures and equipment interoperability
• Heavy-duty corridor planning addresses megawatt charging, rest areas and freight logistics
• Contract-management indicators track vehicle availability, energy use, charger uptime and emissions

Participants can establish governance arrangements that reduce approval delays and accountability gaps.

• RACI matrices assign decision rights across transport, energy, planning and finance bodies
• One-stop permitting coordinates planning consent, electrical connection, roadworks and inspection approvals
• Statutory timelines reduce uncertainty for permits, connections and public-land access
• Municipal bylaws address parking enforcement, charger protection and accessible bay design
• Interagency steering committees resolve policy conflicts through documented escalation protocols
• Public consultation plans address resident concerns, business impacts and disability access
• Regulatory impact assessments test proportionality, enforceability, costs and unintended consequences

Participants can create an implementation roadmap with governance, metrics, review points and corrective actions.

• Results frameworks connect policy instruments to outputs, outcomes and system-level indicators
• Key performance indicators track charger uptime, utilisation, access, affordability and emissions
• Baseline design establishes credible comparison points before programme implementation
• Data-reporting requirements specify operator submissions, validation rules and publication frequency
• Evaluation designs use before-and-after, comparison-group and contribution-analysis approaches
• Implementation roadmaps sequence legal changes, procurement, stakeholder engagement and market communication
• Review triggers identify conditions requiring tariff, incentive or licensing-rule adjustment
