EV Charging Equipment

5:14

EV chargers are everywhere now, and the NEC gives them their own dedicated article: 625.

In this lesson: EVSE vs. the vehicle, charging levels (1, 2, DC fast), the continuous-load 125% sizing rule with a worked example, dedicated branch circuits, hardwired vs. cord-and-plug, the 25-foot cord limit, built-in personnel protection, the new 2026 emergency shutoff rule, disconnect requirements, load management systems, why EV rules aren't the same as solar's rapid shutdown, and emerging bidirectional charging.

Based on the 2023 NEC (Article 625).
