+ When to use: Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and associated electrical
+ infrastructure on new construction or renovation projects with parking — Level 1
+ (120 V), Level 2 (208-240 V), and DC fast charging (DCFC). Covers wall- and
+ pedestal-mounted units, cord-connected and hardwired units, networked/smart
+ charging and load management (EVEMS), connectors, enclosures, and "EV ready" /
+ "EV capable" rough-in where code (NEC Article 625, CALGreen, IECC, or local
+ amendments) triggers EV thresholds. Applies to residential, commercial,
+ institutional, and mixed-use work.
+ Not intended for: branch-circuit and feeder conductors feeding EVSE (use
+ [[sync/conductors-and-cables]]); conduit and raceway routing to EVSE (use
+ [[sync/raceways-and-conduit]]); the panelboard or switchboard receiving EVSE
+ circuits (use [[sync/panelboards]]); non-EVSE receptacles and standard
+ 120/240 V wiring devices (use [[sync/wiring-devices]]); on-board vehicle
+ chargers or battery-management systems (vehicle side); energy storage or DC
+ microgrid beyond EVEMS load-management scope; photovoltaic or V2G bidirectional
+ inverter equipment (separate MEP scope).

+# Charging Level and Power Rating {toc}
+
+## EVSE level determines voltage, current, circuit sizing, and the charging rate delivered to the vehicle; it is the primary product decision for the installation. The three levels differ as follows: {note}
+
+- **Level 1** operates at 120 V and draws up to 16 A continuous, delivering roughly 1.4 to 1.9 kW; it is appropriate only where charging time is not constrained, such as overnight residential or workplace trickle charging.
+- **Level 2** operates at 208 to 240 V and draws up to 80 A continuous, delivering roughly 3.8 to 19.2 kW; it is the standard choice for most residential, commercial, and institutional projects.
+- **DC fast charging** supplies direct current to the vehicle at 480 V three-phase input and 50 to 350 kW output, and is used for public express charging and fleet depots where rapid turnaround is required.
+
+## EVSE shall be furnished at the level and rated continuous output specified, and shall not be substituted with a lower-output unit without the Engineer's written approval.
+
+## The rated continuous output current of each Level 2 unit shall be coordinated with the branch-circuit rating so that the circuit rating is at least 125% of the EVSE continuous output current.

+# Connector Type {toc}
+
+## Connector selection is a near-term strategic decision: as of 2025 nearly all major OEMs have committed to the SAE J3400 (NACS) port, so a J1772-only Level 2 unit risks generating owner complaints within its warranty period. {note}
+
+## CHAdeMO is effectively phased out in North America and shall not be specified for new work. {note}
+
+## Level 2 EVSE shall be furnished with a SAE J3400 (NACS) connector, a SAE J1772 connector, or a dual-protocol connector as specified.
+
+### Where Level 2 EVSE is furnished with a J1772-only connector, the Contractor shall confirm in writing that the Owner accepts the connector limitation, or shall furnish NACS adapters for the Owner's use.
+
+## DC fast charging equipment shall be furnished with dual-head couplers providing both CCS1 (SAE J1772 combo) and SAE J3400 (NACS) DC interfaces unless a single interface is specified.
+
+## Connectors and couplers shall comply with SAE J1772 or SAE J3400 as applicable, and shall be listed as part of the EVSE assembly.

+# Branch Circuit and Connection {toc}
+
+## NEC 210.20 and 215.3 require branch circuits and feeders supplying continuous loads to be rated at not less than 125% of the continuous load; EVSE is a continuous load. {note}
+
+## Specifying a breaker equal to the EVSE current rating is the most common EVSE specification error: a 32 A charger requires a 40 A circuit, and a 32 A breaker violates NEC 625.40 and 210.20. {note}
+
+## Each EVSE branch circuit shall be rated at not less than 125% of the EVSE rated continuous output current.
+
+## An individual branch circuit shall be provided for each EVSE outlet rated greater than 16 A or greater than 120 V, in accordance with NEC 625.40, unless a listed EVEMS is provided in accordance with NEC 625.42.

+# Energy Management and Load Sharing {toc}
+
+## Energy management is the difference between an affordable parking-lot deployment and a service upgrade: specifying an individual 40 to 50 A circuit for every stall in a large lot can require an enormous new service, while an EVEMS sharing a feeder can reduce service-upgrade cost by 40 to 60%. {note}
+
+## NEC 625.42, working with Article 750, permits a feeder or branch circuit to be sized below the sum of all connected EVSE nameplate ratings when a listed EVEMS limits the aggregate demand. {note}
+
+## Where an EVEMS is used to permit a feeder smaller than the sum of EVSE nameplate ratings, the EVEMS shall be listed or field-evaluated and shall enforce a maximum aggregate demand not exceeding the feeder's continuous-load rating.
+
+## The feeder load calculation shall be performed in accordance with NEC Article 220 using the EVEMS-enforced aggregate demand rather than the connected nameplate sum, and shall be documented in the submittals.
+
+## Networked EVEMS shall communicate using OCPP 2.0.1 as the baseline protocol; OCPP 1.6 shall be acceptable only for retrofit connection to an existing back-office platform and only where specified.
+
+## The contract documents shall state the required OCPP version.
+
+## Absent an explicit OCPP version requirement in the contract documents, contractors may supply hardware incompatible with the building's network platform.
+
+## Where demand charges apply to the project's utility tariff, DCFC and large Level 2 arrays should be furnished with demand-response-capable hardware supporting OpenADR 2.0.

+# Infrastructure Tiers and Rough-In {toc}
+
+## Codes distinguish three infrastructure tiers with distinct scope, and confusing them is a frequent permit-correction cause: "EV Capable" is conduit only, "EV Ready" is wiring plus an outlet, and "EV Installed" is a complete EVSE. {note}
+
+## Future-proofing is inexpensive at rough-in and very costly after concrete is poured; conduit fill and breaker spaces should be provided for at least twice the planned EVSE count at the time of rough-in. {note}
+
+## EV Capable infrastructure shall consist of a continuous raceway from the panelboard to the parking space termination point, with adequate panel capacity and a dedicated breaker space reserved, terminating in a capped junction box or stub-out.
+
+## EV Capable conduit stub-outs serving future DCFC or large Level 2 equipment shall be not smaller than 2 in. trade size to accommodate the future conductors.
+
+## EV Ready infrastructure shall consist of a complete branch circuit terminating in a receptacle or junction box at the parking space, ready to receive an EVSE.
+
+## EV Installed infrastructure shall consist of a complete, energized, and commissioned EVSE.
+
+## For California projects, the applicable CALGreen cycle shall be confirmed against the project's permit date, because the 2025 cycle effective January 1, 2026 substantially increases EV-ready and EV-installed thresholds. {note}

+
+## Required working clearances in front of EVSE disconnects and the supplying panelboard shall be maintained in accordance with NEC 110.26.
+
+## Utility service capacity shall be verified with the serving utility before EVSE is ordered, because added EVSE load may require a new or upgraded utility transformer with a long lead time. {note}
+
+### For multifamily and commercial projects adding multiple Level 2 units or any DCFC, the Contractor shall confirm available utility service capacity in writing before installation proceeds.
+
+## DCFC above 100 kW typically requires a dedicated utility service point and may trigger a utility engineering study; this coordination shall be completed before rough-in. {note}
+
+## Conductor terminations shall be torqued to the manufacturer's specified values.
+
+## Aluminum terminations shall be prepared with antioxidant compound where required by the manufacturer.
+
+## Outdoor EVSE penetrations and enclosure entries shall be sealed to maintain the enclosure's NEMA rating.

+## EVSE and stub-out locations shall be installed as coordinated [[drawing: EV site plan]].
+
+# Delivery, Storage, and Handling {toc}
