What is a EVSE charging cable?
This is a cable, typically 5 or 10 meters long, with an electric vehicle service equipment unit (EVSE) attached to the cable. The EVSE works in many ways like our EVO range of wall mountable charge points, though there are pro’s and con’s to only using this cable.
What is the fastest level 2 charger?
The Blink IQ 200 chargers are the fastest Level 2 AC charging stations available, producing 80 amps of output, providing approximately 65 miles of charge in an hour.
Do I need an EVSE?
Yes, you need an EVSE if you want to charge at 240v. While it’s basically just a “smart” extension cord, it has electronic circuitry that is necessary for your car to accept a charge from the circuit.
Do you need 200 amp service for electric car?
Your electrician will tell you that you need to bring in new service from the power company (typically 200 amps) as well as whole new power panel. On top of that, they will need to run a line capable of 40 to 50 amps to your parking spot, and install a 50 amp plug (cheap) or hardwired wall EVSE (”charger”).
Is 200 amp service enough for Tesla?
It might not be at the maximum charge rate, but it should still be possible at a lower speed / amperage. If you are lucky enough to have a 200amp electrical service, you should be good to go.
Why do I need an EVSE?
It ensures that if a cable is not correctly inserted, power will not flow through it. EVSE can also detect hardware faults, disconnecting the power and preventing battery damage, electrical shorts or worse still, fire.
Can I charge an electric car from a 13 amp socket?
Yes, you can charge an electric vehicle from a 13A socket. Most car manufacturers supply EVs with a 13A plug, also known as a granny charger. These chargers are ideal for situations when you don’t have access to a charging point. However, ensure that you fit your 13A charger in an appropriate plug.
What is smart EVSE?
Networked or “smart” electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) units that can adjust power levels or shift charging sessions. Human planning to optimize charging and reduce EVSE deployment needs. This solution can be less expensive but may require drivers to program their vehicles to charge according to agency policy.
What is the charging power of the EVSE?
This EVSE provides up to 19.2kW of charging power at 80A. It supports ISO 15118 High-Level Communications with the EV as well as OCPP 1.6+ to implement both Plug and Charge and Smart Charging over a variety of connectivity options (LAN, Wi-Fi, LTE, etc).

Do I need a separate sub-metered circuit for an EVSE charging station?
This program requires that a separate sub-metered circuit be installed to accommodate an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) charging station. A rebate of up to $500 is available through ChargeWise for the installation of a Level 1 or Level 2 EVSE charging station.
