NEC EV charging equipment requirements

Article 625 is the NEC article for electric vehicle power transfer systems. Its scope includes the equipment and electrical conductors that connect premises wiring to an electric vehicle.

How NEC Article 625 fits into planning an EV charging circuit and the questions to take to the permit authority and electrician.

Planning reference only. Power Totals is not an electrical contractor, engineering firm, inspection service, permit authority, or code-book substitute. Code adoption and amendments vary. Confirm the adopted edition and project requirements with the authority having jurisdiction.

What to confirm for the job

  • Is the equipment cord-and-plug connected or permanently wired?
  • What circuit and disconnect details does the equipment listing require?
  • Which permit and inspection steps apply at the project address?
