Scope

Preliminary EV charging power-current planning only. It does not size the EV circuit, breaker, conductor, receptacle, or load-management equipment.

Lookup table

Compare Level 2 EV charging power from current at common 208 V and 240 V supply source links.

Scroll sideways to keep row labels aligned with hidden columns.

Formula basis: kW = volts x amps / 1000 for single-phase Level 2 charging source links.

Notes
  • Check table values for preliminary lookup and arithmetic checks only.
  • Confirm equipment ratings, product markings, installation conditions, utility requirements, and the local authority requirements before design or field use.
