A customer drives home in a new BYD Dolphin at R430,000.
They call an electrician to install a home charger. The electrician has never installed one. Doesn't know the connector types. Doesn't know how to integrate it with the existing solar system on the roof.
Now multiply that by 6526 the number of Plug in Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicle sold in South Africa in just the first half of 2026. Just 445 public charging sites serve the entire country. A single public DC fast charger can cost up to R2 million to install and most qualified electricians have never been trained to do it.
The vehicles are here. The infrastructure isn't. And the people who should be building it, were never given the tools.
That changes now.
ChrisnelSA, in partnership with the Automotive Skills Development Council, presents the AIMGT EV Charging Infrastructure & Smart Energy Workshop the first accredited course designed to turn qualified electricians and solar PV installers into EV infrastructure specialists.
What you'll cover:
🔌 AC/DC charging fundamentals and charger types Type 1, Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO, and GB/T
⚙️ OCPP 1.6/2.0 communication protocols the language charging networks run on
☀️ Solar PV integration with EV charging because in South Africa, smart energy isn't a luxury, it's the solution
📋 SA standards, NERSA regulations, and SANS 10142 compliance
🔧 Hands-on: Level 2 charger setup and OCPP demonstration
🌍 International best practice: what Asia, Europe and the rest of Africa are doing and how we can learn from it.
𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬? Qualified electricians with a valid Wireman's Licence, registered Solar PV installers (PV GreenCard or SAPVIA-recognised), National Diploma holders in Electrical Engineering and TVET-qualified electrical technicians (N3–N6 with completed trade test).
South Africa's EV charging market is projected to grow at 23.9% annually through 2031. The professionals who get certified now won't be looking for work, work will be looking for them.
The infrastructure gap is real. Be the person who closes it.
