Abilash Ethanur Thuppale
Electric Vehicles and the electrification has created a need for good infrastructure. In several countries, the local installations are only as matured as the engineering resource capabilities of the local engineering community. As electricity is Mother Nature controlled, she can be sometimes hard to handle. If the right regulations and the best practices are not followed, the end-user is definite to be greatly affected. This session will cover the different types of charging technology, their do’s and don’t’s of installation, regulations and best practices so that the Middle East can be a better adopter of mobility electrification. It is very important for end-users to differentiate between them as their very life might depend on it, if not handled properly. This session will cover an ethical method to install the different chargers from manufacturers
