Re: Article 625 and connectors?
I still don't see why you can't use a big plug for EVs

too slow.
here is part of NEC and I dont see why you can't do a big 220 volt
plug!!!!!!

A variety of street- and highway-worthy electric vehicles are expected
to be in production and on the road throughout the country. New and
proposed legislation in several regions around the country already
calls for increasing deployment of EVs as a way to reduce air
pollution. In California, for instance, the Air Resources Board has
mandated that 2 percent of all vehicles by major manufacturers
available for sale in that state must be "zero polluting" by 1998. By
2003, that number rises to 10 percent. Other states have adopted
similar requirements. In addition, the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 have requirements for
public and private purchases of clean fuel vehicles and alternatively
fueled vehicles, respectively. Electric vehicles fulfill both those
requirements. It is apparent that electric vehicle charging will be
occurring in all occupancies, including residential, commercial,
retail, and public sites.
