About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with an expert in electric vehicle charging risk management. Can you tell us a bit about this advanced certificate course and what it covers? GUEST: Absolutely, this course is designed to equip professionals with the skills to manage the complex issues around EV charging infrastructure. It covers safety standards, cybersecurity threats, grid integration challenges, and best practices for risk assessment and mitigation. HOST: That sounds comprehensive. What are some of the key safety standards that people need to be aware of when dealing with EV charging? GUEST: There are several, including those set by organizations like UL, NEMA, and SAE. These standards cover everything from the design and installation of charging stations to the performance and safety testing of EVs themselves. HOST: And how about cybersecurity threats? That's not something you usually associate with EV charging. GUEST: That's true, but as we rely more on digital systems to manage and monitor EV charging, the risk of cyber attacks increases. Our course covers the latest threats and how to protect against them. HOST: Speaking of digital systems, what are some of the grid integration challenges that come with EV charging? GUEST: One challenge is managing the increased demand for electricity as more EVs hit the road. We also need to ensure that the grid can handle the load, especially during peak charging times. Our course covers strategies for overcoming these challenges. HOST: It's clear that there are many financial risks and liability concerns associated with EV charging. Can you tell us more about that? GUEST: Sure, there are risks related to property damage, personal injury, and even data breaches. Our course covers the financial implications of these risks and how to manage them through insurance, contracts, and other risk management strategies. HOST: And finally, what do you see as the future of EV charging risk management? GUEST: I think we'll see more emphasis on standardization, both in terms of safety and cybersecurity. We'll also need to continue developing new technologies to manage the increasing demand for EV charging. HOST: Well, thank you for sharing your insights with us today. The 'Advanced Certificate in Electric Vehicle Charging Risk Management' sounds like a valuable course for anyone involved in EV charging deployment and operation.
