Diploma in EV Transition: Infrastructure, Charging and ESG Reporting
600-hour online postgraduate diploma in fleet electrification: fleet assessment, real-world range, charging infrastructure, grid connection, OCPP, business case and ESG reporting, with an assigned tutor.
Take the controls.
Run a real engineering trade-off from this field. Move the sliders, watch the model react in real time and beat the challenge.
What you will be able to do
Analyse usage profiles with telematics data and classify vehicles by electric suitability.
Estimate real-world range and battery degradation under the fleet’s operating conditions.
Size and specify charging infrastructure in line with low-voltage regulations and IEC 61851.
Calculate the optimal contracted capacity and assess solar self-consumption and storage.
Design dynamic load management with an OCPP-based charge point management system.
Build the transition business case with discounted cash flow, grants and sensitivity analysis.
Calculate the fleet’s carbon footprint and prepare verifiable ESG reporting.
Who it's for
- Fleet managers who must plan the replacement of combustion vehicles with electric ones.
- Electrical engineers and installers designing charging infrastructure at depots and car parks.
- Sustainability managers preparing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions reporting.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine the programme with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Excel, Power BI, Python, PVsyst, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied on real urban delivery, field service and passenger transport fleets, with telematics data, load curves and electricity bills. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrated project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
