Bus and Truck Charging Stations Panel Trainer
Give students hands-on experience with the charging infrastructure used to support electric buses, trucks, and other heavy vehicles. The Bus and Truck Charging Stations Panel Trainer (746-01) allows students to investigate multi-vehicle DC fast charging, power conversion, EVSE management, vehicle communication, electrical measurements, and charging station diagnostics.
The Bus and Truck Charging Stations Panel Trainer (746-01) from LJ Create provides a practical simulation of a multi-vehicle heavy electric vehicle charging station. Designed around public and private sector charging systems for buses and goods vehicles, the trainer helps students understand how electrical power is managed and delivered across heavy-duty EV charging infrastructure.
Students can visualize electrical power flow, simulate bus and goods vehicle charging, and perform DC and AC circuit measurements using safe-voltage test points. The system also incorporates 16 manually or automatically inserted faults, allowing students to develop diagnostic and fault-finding skills around realistic charging station malfunctions.

Introducing the LJ Create Electric Vehicle Lab
LJ Create’s EV & Hybrid AutoLab is a complete, scalable training solution that helps schools build modern automotive programs around electric and hybrid vehicle technology. With hands-on trainers, guided curriculum, and multiple levels of instruction, students develop the practical skills needed to safely diagnose, maintain, and understand today’s electrified vehicles.
EV and Hybrid Learning for Every Level
From electrical fundamentals to complete vehicle systems, these automotive training solutions prepare students with the practical skills needed for careers in today’s electrified transportation industry.
EV Electrical and Electronics Fundamentals
Start with the basics by practicing skills students will need as they explore EV concepts. These areas include: circuit protection; conductors, insulators, and earth return; voltage, current, resistance, and power calculations; DC and AC signals; and more!
Complete Vehicle Systems
Teach the operation of complete EV and Hybrid Vehicle systems using desktop panel trainers. Students can “operate” each type of vehicle, measure what is going on during the various modes of operation, and troubleshoot common problems.
Common EV Sub-Systems
Dive deeper into specific EV sub-systems like motors and drives, batteries, and charging systems to teach students who already have the fundamentals down critical EV sub-systems.
