What are the input circuit requirements for an EV Charging Station?
Issue:
What are the feeder circuit requirements for an EV Charging station?
Product Line:
PTEVC - ELECTRICAL VEHICLE
Resolution:
The EVlink series of Level 2 charging stations requires a 40A, non-GFI-type breaker for each charging outlet. #8 wire is required (L1, L2, and GND). For dual-outlet charging stations, two 40A non-GFI breakers will be required (one for each outlet). A neutral connection is not required for EVlink stations.
A 40A circuit breaker is required because the charging station's continuous output current can be as high as 30A.
The wiring diagram for a single outlet charging station is shown in the figure below.
