[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 474631, member: 1607"] DC car electrics are a very different beast to AC electrics, The speed and ease with which you can kill someone if you get it wrong being one significant factor. There are far more legal obligations and hurdles to jump though if you are expecting to be able to sign off and notify all your own work without involving a third party. If you are wanting to work on your own from scratch it will be a big (and expensive) uphill climb to do it correctly. However if you have a contact who is already a trading electrician and he/she wants a mate to give them a hand, you would then find it a lot easier to train and pick up a lot of knowledge and experience on the job. Very few, (or less), training courses would ever give you enough experience to be up and running in a short timeframe without some form of supplementary on-site hands-on work and hard graft. Your specific location in the UK will also have significant implications on which additional regulations you must adhere to as well as BS7671 wiring regulations. What you want to do is not impossible, but it will not be an easy ride at all. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
