Question:
Hello Charlie. Would a Level 3 DC Fast Charger EVSE ever be considered a non-continuous load? Today's electric vehicle battery capacities are not large enough to ever see maximum current draw for 3+ hours at this level. All the best, Jake Johnston
A
Answer:
Hello Jake, thanks for your participation in the CQD. Section 625.43 requires EV charging loads to be considered continuous loads. Additionally, Section 625.41 requires the overcurrent protection device rating for EVSE to be calculated/sized for continuous duty. Hope this helps.
