Are you in the market for buying a new EV? Here it is 2022 and as the EV market continues to explode and grow. We are talking about Tesla, Mache, Ford, Lucid, and all the other futuristic vehicles. And today we are talking about the problem the new codes have

It effects to not only how you charge your electric car but what the cost of installing the new circuit that it requires.  Most charging stations already have internal ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. Adding additional GFCI protection is resulting in nuisance tripping of these breakers for customers.
NEMA 1450 and GFCI

Electric vehicle charging stations can also use the Nema 1450 standard outlet. These are becoming more common as electric vehicles gain popularity and customers now need and desire charging stations at home.

Recently, electrical codes have been updated to address the influx of these applications across the country. New codes require that a GFCI circuit breaker must be installed on any NEMA 1450 receptacle used for charging an EV. A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) breaker is designed to prevent shocks from occurring when an electrical circuit comes into contact with water. This is a safety measure to help prevent injury and fatality.

Most electrical outlets and plugs in the United States are specified by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), and most kitchen ranges and electric dryers use a NEMA 14–50 outlet for power.

GFCIs normally add a layer of protection for users. However, they can also lead to nuisance tripping when used in conjunction with a Level2 charger that will shut down the associated circuit and halt charging on your vehicle. This will cause headaches for homeowners who will have to continually reset the tripped breakers.

NEMA plugs are also subject to wear and tear with the continual plugging and unplugging of the units. So, in addition to the nuisance breaker trips, the plug life cycle will also be a challenge.

With the demand for athome charging stations increases, electrical codes have been amended to require ground fault protection of NEMA 1450 outlets at residential locations.
