EVSE

The time to prepare for the future is now, and this is perhaps easiest to see when we look at transport. Oil is a finite source while burning large amounts of it is damaging the world around us. As such the switch to electric power for cars and trucks has been at the heart of development from car manufacturers for decades.

As technology has caught up with imagination, we have seen Tesla lead the way and others follow, but now a car with a 300-mile range and technological reliability is proven. As the market has seen this, more and more people are looking for electric-powered alternatives, and with ever more stringent legislation in place for vehicle emissions, this is a trend that is set to continue.

However, while electric vehicles don’t need gas stations, they do need to fill up on energy, and charging stations, both at home and along any route, are an essential part of electric vehicle adoption. We are proud to be a part of this revolution in transport, providing and installing a comprehensive range of electric vehicle supply equipment, including high-capacity outlets, wall connectors, and commercial charging stations.

Electricity is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992

Electric vehicles use electricity from on- or off-board electrical power sources and store it in batteries.

EVs such as Tesla, use a battery to store the electrical energy that powers the motor. EVs are sometimes referred to as battery electric vehicles (BEVs). EV batteries are charged by plugging the vehicle in to an electric power source and do not use any other source of fuel.

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)

  • Powered by an engine and electric motor
  • Does not use electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) to charge the battery

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

  • Powered by an electric motor and engine
  • Uses EVSE to charge the battery

Types of Charging Equipment

  • Level 1

    • Most, if not all, PEVs will come with an AC Level 1 EVSE cordset so that no additional charging equipment is required. On one end of the cord is a standard, three-prong household plug (NEMA 5-15 or 5-20 connector). On the other end is a J1772 standard connector, which plugs in to the vehicle.

 

  • Level 2

    • AC Level 2 EVSE requires installation of home charging or public charging equipment and a dedicated circuit of 20 to 100 amps, depending on the EVSE requirements.

 

  • Level 3

    • A Direct Current (DC) quick-charging system designed to charge an electric vehicle battery to 80% charge in approximately 20 minutes. Currently, there are two competing standards, the Japanese CHAdeMO Standard and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1722

 

  • DC Fast

    • DC fast-charging equipment, sometimes called DC Level 2 (typically 480V AC input), enables rapid charging. Its rapid-charge capability makes this equipment ideal for placement along heavy traffic corridors.

 

  • Wireless or Inductive

    • Inductive charging equipment, which uses an electromagnetic field to transfer electricity to a PEV without a cord, has been recently introduced commercially for installation as an aftermarket add-on. Currently available wireless charging stations operate at power levels comparable to AC Level 2.
