OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Level 1 Charging120VAC, 15A, NEMA 5-15RTypical charge time: 12-18hrsLevel 2 Charging208-240VAC, up to 80ATypical charge time: 4-8hrsLevel 3 ChargingDC chargingTypical charge time: 15-30 minutes
Actual charge time can vary
Example: Nissan Leaf24kwh battery100 mile rangeLevel 1 = 20hrsLevel 2 = 8hrsLevel 3 = 30min(from NissanUSA web site)

Level 3 ChargingCurrent status of level 3 charging:Only Nissan, Mitsubishi, and smaller OEMs have a Level 3 port-Chevy and Ford can not be charged via a DC fast charger-Society of Automotive Engineers has not standardized on a plug
You will not see American car companies adopt Level 3 charging until SAE develops the Level 3 plug
Note on Level 3 charging: Nissan recommends that quick charging not be performed more than once a day.

OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric Vehicle Charging
• Codes and Standards
• NEC Article 625
• UL 2231 & UL 2594
• SAE J1772
• Also: NEMA, UL 2251, SAE J1718

OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric Vehicle Charging
• Standard SAE J1772
• Coupler assembly– Connector– Inlet
• Coupler pin configuration– AC Power (L1)– AC Power (L2)– Equipment Ground– Control Pilot– Proximity detection

OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric Vehicle Charging
• UL 2231 & UL 2594
• 20ma ground fault (UL 2231)– Monitor the differential current among current carrying conductors in a
grounded system– Monitor equipment ground continuity– Monitor the insulation that provides the electrical isolation from ground for an
isolated circuit
• Maximum cable length = 25” (UL 2594)
X
OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric Vehicle Charging
• NEC 625
• De-energize event– De-energize cable if cable is uncoupled– De-energize cable if cable is under strain– De-energize cable if cable is primary source of power is lost– De-energize cable if cable is indoor ventilation is not available when required
• Connector mount 18”-48” indoor– Above floor level
• Connector mount 24”-48” outdoor– Above parking surface

OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric Vehicle Charging
• NEC 625(cont)
• Ventilation required for “listed or labeled” EVs• Hydrogen Outgassing
– Lead-Acid– Nickel-Metal Hydride
• Non-gassing– Lithium-Ion– Developing Technology
• EVSE will detect if EV requires ventilation. EVSE will alarm and not energize EVs requiring ventilation, or EVSE will activate ventilation system.

OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Electric Vehicle Charging
• NEC 625 (cont)
• Charging loads shall be considered as continuous loads (NO exceptions).
• Overcurrent protection must be sized for 125% of the continuous load current. No exception for 100% rated breakers.
• Branch circuit calculations per NEC 220.10.
• Feeder and service load calculations per NEC 220.40.
