title: Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment
…2 unchanged lines
When to use: Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) as a listed product and the work that puts it into service, on commercial, institutional, industrial, multifamily, and residential projects with parking: AC Level 1 and Level 2 charging equipment and DC fast charging equipment, wall-mounted, pedestal-mounted, and ceiling-mounted, cord-and-plug-connected and hardwired, unidirectional and bidirectional. Covers the listing, the enclosure, the rated output, the connector and the cable, the cable management, the connection to the branch circuit, load management and the energy management system, network connectivity and the charging protocol, authorization and fee collection, energy measurement, the provisioning of EV-capable, EV-ready, and EVSE-installed parking spaces to the adopted codes, accessible charging spaces, identification, installation, commissioning, warranty, and spares.
− Not intended for: The branch-circuit and feeder conductors that supply the equipment (see [[sync/conductors-and-cables]]); the raceways that carry them, including the raceway left for an EV-capable space (see [[sync/raceways-and-conduit]]); the panelboard, its breakers, and the reserved breaker spaces (see [[sync/panelboards]]); the receptacle that a plug-in unit mates with and the receptacle of an EV-ready space (see [[sync/wiring-devices]]); the enclosed switch that serves as the disconnecting means (see [[sync/enclosed-switches-and-disconnects]]); the equipment grounding conductor and bonding (see [[sync/grounding-and-bonding]]); nameplate and label material and lettering (see [[sync/electrical-identification]]); the bollards that protect the equipment (see [[sync/site-furnishings-and-bollards]]); the striping, the accessible-space markings, and the signs at the charging spaces (see [[sync/pavement-markings]]); the cast-in-place foundation under a pedestal or a cabinet (see [[sync/concrete-pads]]); the network cabling to a networked unit (see [[sync/structured-cabling]]); building-side submetering of the charging load (see [[sync/electrical-power-monitoring]]); the utility service and its upgrade (see [[sync/electrical-service-entrance]]); the lighting of the charging spaces (see [[sync/exterior-lighting]]); the photovoltaic system a charger is paired with (see [[sync/photovoltaic-systems]]); wireless power transfer equipment; charging equipment with integral battery storage; the on-board charger and the battery of the vehicle; and charging equipment in hazardous (classified) locations.

## Regulatory Requirements {toc}
−### The installation shall comply with the edition of NFPA 70 adopted with [[parameter: adopted-building-code]] and with the amendments of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
+### The installation shall comply with [[parameter: adopted-electrical-code]] and with the amendments of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
### Where the installation is funded in whole or in part under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, the equipment, the network, the payment methods, and the installer shall comply with 23 CFR Part 680 in addition to this standard.

### The setpoint and the fallback values shall be accessible only to an authorized user with a tool, a password, or a key, and the settings as left shall be recorded in the closeout submittals.
−### Each feeder and panelboard whose rating relies on the energy management system shall be marked with the maximum charging load the system permits, in accordance with NFPA 70 625.42 and 750.30, with a label furnished under [[sync/electrical-identification]].
+### Each feeder and panelboard whose rating relies on the energy management system shall be marked with the maximum charging load the system permits, in accordance with NFPA 70 625.42 and 750.30, with a label furnished under [[sync/equipment-labeling]].
### The fallback is the whole safety of a feeder sized below the sum of the units on it: a unit that returns to full output when it loses the network overloads the feeder it was installed to protect, which is why the fallback is set at the unit, recorded, and tested. {note}

## Each unit shall carry the manufacturer's listing mark, its electrical ratings, and, for a unit installed indoors, the ventilation marking NFPA 70 625.52 requires, as applied by the manufacturer.
−## Each unit shall be labeled in the field with the designation of the panelboard and the circuit that supplies it, with a label furnished under [[sync/electrical-identification]].
+## Each unit shall be labeled in the field with the designation of the panelboard and the circuit that supplies it, with a label furnished under [[sync/equipment-labeling]].
## Each networked unit shall display, where a driver can read it before plugging in, the station identifier under which it is listed in the charging network and the means of authorization it accepts.
−## The disconnecting means of each unit, where one is furnished, shall be identified as the disconnect for that unit and shall carry the arc-flash warning label [[sync/electrical-identification]] requires.
+## The disconnecting means of each unit, where one is furnished, shall be identified as the disconnect for that unit and shall carry the arc-flash warning label [[sync/equipment-labeling]] requires.
