NON COMPLIANT NEW EV INSTALLATIONS

I was sent some information from the ECA concerning an audit undertaken by the Office of Low Emission Vehicles.


The sites inspected were those installed by "qualified" and "registered" installers claiming the OLEV subsidy.


0.8% were found to be dangerous (C1), 19.6% Potentially Dangerous (C2) and 25.6% requires improvement (C3). That makes 46% of new EV installations by qualified and registered persons to be non-compliant.


Am I the only person who thinks this is an utter disgrace?

  • The reason you might think that Ebee, is that you wanted a pass, not a lesson in all the other bits of the regulations. I found that time was quite tight to go over all the changes, teach people how to do an open book exam, have a practice test, and take the exam in a single day. This was for Stroma, but others probably did it somewhat differently. To thoroughly revise all of BS7671 would take about a fairly concentrated week of tuition, practice, discussion, etc. and would therefore not be very cheap either. If you are interested in this, it can be arranged subject to a proper number of students, you would need about 12-15 to make it economically possible. It might be possible to do it at a holiday type destination to make it rather more fun, and you could bring the family! Four of us taught the courses around the country, and the result was very similar, it being prepared by JP. The student response sheets we had, suggested that the course was good to excellent, and very few found fault with it. The few who failed always had difficulty with the BBB, insufficient basic knowledge, and a shock of an actual exam. However, one dyslexic student passed just fine when he had mentioned his difficulty with a good chat over lunchtime and some advice. Replies welcome. A few people who post here did the Stroma 18th update course, one almost got 100%, very unusual.
