EV skills in Kochi
The Kochi Water Metro opened to passengers in April 2023 and passed 50 lakh passengers in September 2025, with 20 boats serving 10 terminals. The boats run on lithium titanate batteries in electric or hybrid mode, charge in about 10 to 15 minutes, and some were built by Cochin Shipyard. When complete, the network is planned to link 10 islands with the mainland.
On the roads, the Centre sanctioned â‚ą63.12 crore under PM E-DRIVE in 2026 for 335 charging stations across Kerala, with KSEB in charge of delivery. Batteries, power electronics and charging are the skills this kind of work needs.
The Water Metro's propulsion systems were designed by Siemens and Echandia, with a diesel generator for emergencies only.
The Water Metro plans 38 terminals across 16 routes when fully built.
KSEB will place the 335 PM E-DRIVE stations on highways, in city centres and at malls.

Who it is for
The battery and BMS Nanodegree covers cell chemistry, pack design and battery management in depth.
The electrical Nanodegree builds EV modelling and simulation skills on top of your degree.
The charging and hydrogen programme explains how chargers connect to the grid and how stations are planned.
CEVT trains ITI and diploma holders in EV repair, with a 21-day hands-on block at a DIYguru centre.
Studying from Kochi
Apply from Kochi; our admissions team confirms the fees, EMI options and your batch dates.
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home, delivered anywhere in India.
The CEVT and PG programmes include hands-on workshops at our Delhi and Pune centres: batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics on real vehicles. Nearest to Kochi: Pune (DY Patil University campus).
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
Kerala has no special licence for EV technicians, and there is no national one either. ASDC's NSQF-aligned EV service roles are the main skills benchmark. Charger installation and any wiring to a building supply must be done by a licensed electrical contractor, following Kerala's electrical inspectorate and CEA safety rules. Our certificate shows you completed the course; it is not a licence.
FAQs
No, we have no centre in Kerala. Workshops are held at our Pune centres in Hinjewadi and Lohegaon, and at Sultanpur in Delhi.
Yes. The online format suits full-time staff, and every live class is recorded.
The battery and BMS Nanodegree or the electrical Nanodegree fit well, and the M.Tech in EV Technology suits those who want a degree. ITI and diploma holders should start with CEVT.
It shows you understand EV batteries and drives, which carries over to marine and bus systems. Employers set their own requirements, and we do not guarantee jobs.
Enrol online and attend classes from home or work. Travel is needed only for the workshop in Pune or Delhi.
Fees are listed on each programme page in INR. Speak to the admissions team for the current fee and EMI options.
Professional Certification Programmes run for about 3 months, the CEVT technician programme 3 months, Advanced Nanodegrees 6 months and the Post Graduate programme 12 months.
Yes. The CEVT programme is built for ITI, diploma and polytechnic learners and working mechanics: EV batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics for two- and four-wheelers, with a 21-day hands-on workshop at our Delhi or Pune centre.
Electrical and electronics engineers usually pick the EV modelling or battery and BMS Nanodegrees, mechanical engineers the EV automotive design Nanodegree, and embedded or software engineers the embedded systems or ADAS & AUTOSAR tracks.
