Consultancy For The Development Of Training Modules And Materials For Training Course “EV 101”

I. INTRODUCTION

The transition to electric mobility is accelerating across the Philippines, driven by growing interest in cleaner transport, expanding charging infrastructure, and evolving policy and market conditions. Government agencies, local governments, financiers, private sector actors, academe, and civil society are increasingly involved in planning, regulation, program implementation, and investment decisions related to electric vehicles (EVs) and charging.

EV discussions often involve technical, safety, policy, and economic concepts that can be interpreted differently across stakeholders. To support more coherent planning and stronger coordination, the e-mobility ASAP Project is developing “EV 101”, an introductory learning module that establishes a shared baseline understanding of e-mobility fundamentals.

To support this initiative, the Project seeks to engage the services of a qualified consultant to design and develop the EV 101 training modules. The consultancy will produce structured, practical, and accessible learning materials that build foundational literacy on electric vehicles, charging, safety, policy, and market dynamics, and that can be used for capacity building across a wide range of e-mobility stakeholders.

II. OBJECTIVE OF THE CONSULTANCY

The Objective Of This Consultancy Is To Design And Produce a Standardized, Modular EV 101 Training Package Suitable For Delivery To Diverse Stakeholder Groups. The EV 101 Program Shall Be Structured Into The Following Submodules

• Fundamentals of Electric Vehicles and EV Charging Stations
• Electric Vehicle and EV Charging Safety
• E-mobility Policies
• Economics of Electric Vehicles and EVCS
• Electric Vehicle Industry and Market
  

III. BACKGROUND

• EV 101
  
  

EV 101 is a foundational learning module intended to build shared understanding of electric vehicles, charging basics, safety, industry context, policy, and the economics of e-mobility. While national policies such as the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA) provide a strong framework for EV adoption, manufacturing, and charging infrastructure development, effective implementation depends on stakeholders’ ability to translate policy intent into coordinated technical and operational action.

EV 101 will address the uneven knowledge across government, local authorities, industry, and the technical workforce by linking policy, technology, and practice. It will equip the participants with the essential literacy needed to support informed decision-making, program implementation, and collaboration, and serves as an entry point to more specialized training in EV servicing, charging infrastructure, and e-mobility program development.

• Learning Objectives
  
  

The EV 101 training course is guided by clearly defined learning objectives for each module and topic, which establish the expected knowledge and competencies of participants and ensure alignment of content, activities, and assessments.

A summary of the learning objectives is presented in the table below.
