625.40 of the NEC 2017 states the following -
Electric Vehicle Branch Circuit.
Each outlet installed for the purpose of charging electric vehicles shall be supplied by an individual branch circuit. Each circuit shall have no other outlets.
Electric Vehicle Branch Circuit.
Each outlet installed for the purpose of charging electric vehicles shall be supplied by an individual branch circuit. Each circuit shall have no other outlets.
- What is the definition of an Outlet w.r.t to EV chargers?
- I have a scenario where 3 - Level 2 EV chargers are sharing a common 60A branch circuit. The wires for each charger are spliced together in a junction box, and fed by a 2-pole 60A breaker. The ALMS will restrict the maximum amp draw to 48A between the 3 chargers. Based on the language in 625.40, is it permissible to have 1 - 60A branch circuit serving 3 - Level 2 chargers? Individual wiring for each charger would originate from the junction box.
