How much do you know about electric vehicle charging and EVSE installations?

Study Notes

EVSE supplies electricity to charge an electric vehicle (EV) and provides electrical safety.
The vehicle manufacturers require that an EVSE be used between the electrical outlet and the vehicle.
NEMA 14-30 and 14-50 are commonly used for home charging of electric vehicles.
NEMA 10-30 plug is not recommended for EVSE as it is typically wired with a neutral wire instead of an earth ground.
Many home and company Level 2 220/240-volt charging stations are hard-wired to the circuit breaker control panel.
Local, state, and national codes and regulations must be followed for EVSE installations.
The EVSE wall unit should be positioned to minimize the hazard of tripping over the power cord.
The professional installing a 30-amp charging station system will wire the circuit from the home power service to handle 40 amps and will install the proper circuit breaker.
Most electric vehicles charging at home on a 220/240-volt Level 2 charger will draw about 7,200 watts or less.
SAE J1772 is a standard charger plug for electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles in North America use SAE J1772 plugs and support Level 1 and Level 2 charging.
The cost per mile of driving an electric vehicle is about half that of a gasoline-powered vehicle.
Electric vehicles do not require oil changes or air filter expenses.
Charger cables are being stolen from charging vehicles, and some vehicles have alarms to prevent this.
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a new technology that allows for charging without plugging in.
SAE J2954 is the world-wide standard for wireless charging.
There are two ways to determine the electricity required for an EV: per mile driven or to fully charge the battery.
Most EVs require around 4,000 kWh of electricity per year to operate.
The number of solar panels required to power an EV depends on electricity usage, solar panel wattage, and location.
Charging an electric vehicle typically requires 7 or 9 solar panels, depending on location.
