In collaboration with ASDC, the course provides participants with an in-depth knowledge of Level-1, Level-2, and Level-3 chargers, along with a comprehensive understanding of EV charging infrastructure.
Mohit Yadav, founder of Bolt.Earth, expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the company’s commitment to solidifying its leadership position and preparing for widespread EV adoption and innovation through industry education and skills development.
Arindam Lahiri, CEO of ASDC, highlighted the transformative opportunity this partnership brings to India’s automotive workforce. The upcoming virtual course, available for free registration, equips individuals with essential knowledge of EV infrastructure.
