EV Charging Station Installations
Electrical Code Changes Impacting Home EV Charging Stations
New Code Requirements (2020 NEC): The 2020 National Electrical Code introduced updated requirements for EV home charging stations. One major change is the need for GFCI protection on the circuit used to charge electric vehicles.
Common Issues with GFCI Breakers
While GFCI breakers enhance safety, they can occasionally cause nuisance tripping with certain EV models, leading to incomplete charging sessions. Understanding potential solutions can help address these challenges.
Older Homes May Face Compatibility Issues
Homeowners with older electrical panels may encounter difficulties installing GFCI breakers due to compatibility concerns. Workarounds and tailored solutions are available to overcome these issues and ensure successful installation.
