Rolec EV, the British EV charging infrastructure provider, has partnered with Mr. Charger to establish a joint training programme for installers of electric vehicle charging points. The scheme targets qualified electricians and contractors seeking accreditation in EV charging system installation and commissioning.
The UK charging network continues to expand rapidly, with installation demand outpacing available skilled labour. Industry bodies have flagged a shortage of accredited installers competent in both low-voltage electrical work and EV-specific safety protocols. The partnership addresses this gap by creating a structured pathway from initial training to site-ready competency.
For installation businesses, the programme offers a competitive advantage in a market where EV infrastructure credentials are increasingly required by specifiers and network operators. Contractors completing the scheme gain industry-recognised qualification, supporting their ability to bid for larger residential and commercial charging projects. The rollout details—including delivery schedule, module content, and accreditation standards—will determine whether the initiative shifts meaningful capacity in the installer market or operates as a niche offering for early adopters.
