Level 3 charging stations

[Grouch1980]

Hey guys,
Section 625.14 of the NEC mentions EV charging stations shall be considered continuous loads. Therefore, where I have a main feeder going to a distribution board that feeds multiple charging stations, that feeder has to be calculated at 125% of the load. Does the code differentiate between Level 1, 2, or 3 chargers? Or is that irrelevant, and I have to calculate at 125% regardless?

That's irrelevant.

FWIW, the lack of an exception to 625.41 for 100% rated OCPD is a glaring omission. I submitted a PI for the 2026 NEC to correct this oversight.

Cheers, Wayne
