§ 8176-9.1. Definition of types of PEV charging stations.

An electric vehicle charging station is an off-street public or private parking space(s) that is (are) served by battery charging equipment with the purpose of transferring electric energy to a battery or other energy storage device in an electric vehicle and is classified based on the following levels:

a.

Alternating current (AC) Level 1 slow charging (120 volts, 15/20 amps): Standard wall outlet charging, typically comes with the car; slowest but simplest charging.

b.

Alternating current (AC) Level 2 medium charging (208-240 volts, max 80 amps): Level 2 requires a dedicated circuit and may require an electrical panel upgrade.

c.

Direct current (DC) fast charging (450 volts, 60 amps or higher): DC fast chargers require electrical panel and service upgrades and allow for faster recharging of electric vehicles.
