OUTDOOR EVSE receptacles....

[g-and-h_electric]

I cannot seem to find my 2017 NEC.

I am bidding a commercial job where the client wants 2 NEMA 14-50 receptacles installed on the exterior of the building for plug in EVSE chargers.

The existing panelboards are GE bolt on and they do not make a 50 Amp bolt on GFCI breaker. I would need a sub panel from either Siemens or Eaton, who make 50 Amp bolt on GFCI's.

The municipality on the 2017 NEC . Based on this, is GFCI protection required for these receptacles ? Let us ignore that it is a good idea to GFCI them, and just go straight NEC.

2017 NEC? GFCI not required.

When they get on the 2020 NEC it will be required.

2017 NEC? GFCI not required.

There's a TIA for the 2017 NEC that adds the GFCI requirement for EVSE receptacles to Article 625. So it would depend on whether the jurisdiction has adopted the TIA.
