No RSVP required. Program: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. No admission charge. Open to the public. Topic: Safety of Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment The bold new world of electric vehicles is upon us. You have probably seen advertisements by now for a generation of all-electric vehicles coming to a showroom near you soon. SAE J 1772 will be the configuration for virtually all production electric vehicles allowing North American EV drivers to plug into any manufacturer's EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) and charge in a standards based environment. But what about the safety of electric vehicle charging systems? In North America, EVSE is subjected to requirements from the NEC, and UL standards. There are also IEC standards for electric vehicle chargers, but the connectors in Europe and the rest of the world have not been agreed upon. Find out what it takes to get an electric vehicle charging station certified and into the market place. You will learn what a 'CCID', '2nd neutral ground', 'level 2', and other mysteries of the EVSE world.. Speaker: Gary Eldridge, P.E.
