Well, we can't NEC-compliantly use a cordset on an EVSE designed to be hard-wired, but a manufacturer can list and sell a 240V EVSE that uses a cordset. Why noone has, I don't know. Hopefully someone will.AndyH said:So... If this is definitive then I have to agree that we can use a cordset.
I don't know when this J1772 was being written. But I checked the 2005 and 2002 NECs, they have the same version of 625.13 as in the 2008 NEC. And the 2002 NEC shows in the margin where sections have been changed; since this is not shown for 625.13, presumably the 1999 NEC was the same.AndyH said:Or could it be that the PREVIOUS NEC - the one in effect when all this stuff was in 'gestation mode' - was the limiting factor?
I'm not convinced that was ever really in the NEC, that document could be wrong. If it was, it was prior to 1999.AndyH said:http://www.bchydro.com/etc/medialib...arging Infrastructure Guidelines-BC-Aug09.pdf
Page 63 references applicable NEC articles. This version of 625.14 clearly prohibits L2 w/plugs. The current NEC doesn't include this text, but the entire EVSE industry and standards bodies are acting as if it's still in place.
