But that second "or" in the first sentence is bothersome. Subsections 18 and 19 appear to say that only 125v, 15A or 20A can be plug connected, but I didn't see anything about that in subsection 29. Besides, what is the point of identifying those three subsections if they don't enlarge the class of EVSEs allowed to be plug connected?Electric vehicle supply equipment rated at 125 volts, single phase, 15 or 20 amperes or part of a system identified and listed as suitable for the purpose and meeting the requirements of 625.18, 625.19, and 625.29 shall be permitted to be cord-and-plug-connected. All other electric vehicle supply equipment shall be permanently connected and fastened in place.
2008 NEC is the latest. The next revision isn't due until next year.AndyH said:Yeah, we've talked about this before on the forum. That's the 2008 code, so not the latest.

johnr said:So a plug-in EVSE is legal, so long as it's only used indoors? Well in most cases they will be indoors, in people's garages. That would be soooo much simpler not having to go through the hassles and expense of calling an electrician to permanently install the thing.
No you're not. +1garygid said:Am I the only one thinking that a socket at home, a "covered" socket at work, and another socket at my friends home would give me a LOT of added use from my EV?
No, clear as mud. Read it again:johnr said:That's as clear as can be - no portable 240V plugging in. So, the question is, how does Tesla get away with it?
(125 volts...) or (part of a system...) shall be permitted to be cord-and-plug-connected.
