The electric vehicle coupler shall be provided with a positive means to preventunintentional disconnection.

6. Electric Vehicle Coupler. A mating electric vehicle inlet and electric vehicle connector set. The electric vehicle coupler shall be provided with a grounding pole, unless part of a system identified and listed as suitable for the purpose in accordance with Article 250.

7. Electric Vehicle Coupler. A mating electric vehicle inlet and electric vehicle connector set. If a grounding pole is provided, the electric vehicle couplershall be so designed that the grounding pole connection is the first to make and the last to break contact.

8. Personnel Protection System. A system of personnel protection devices and constructional features that when used together provide protection against electric shock of personnel. 625.17, ·          The electric vehicle supply equipment cable is required to be of certain types EV, EVJ, EVE, EVJE, EVT, or EVJT flexible cable [ See Article 400 and Table 400.4}. ·The cable is also required to be a maximum of 25 ft overall, unless it is equipped with a listed cable management system. ·When sizing the charger cables for connection to the vehicle, the user needs to use Table 400.5(A) for a 10 AWG and smaller and use Table 400.5(B) for 8 AWG and smaller for ampacity ratings. 625.18 ·an interlock needs to be provided in accordance with so that the cable is completely de-energized when the coupler that connects to the vehicle being charged is disconnected. oNo need to apply this requirement if we are using a portable cord-and-plug-connected means for charging the vehicle that would be connected to a single-phase, 125-volt, 15- or 20-ampere rated receptacle outlet. [ See 625.19 for the occasions when the cable may become exposed to undue strain] 625.17Cable. The electric vehicle supply equipment shall be flexible cable as specified in Article 400 and Table 400.4. The overall length of the cable shall not exceed(25 ft)unless equipped with a cable management system that is listed as suitable for the purpose. Other cable types and assemblies listed as being suitable for the purpose, including optional hybrid communications, signal, and composite optical fiber cables, shall be permitted. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) – The conductors, including the ungrounded, grounded, and equipment grounding conductors, the electric vehicle connectors, attachment plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, or apparatuses installed specifically for the purpose of delivering energy from the premises wiring to the electric vehicle.

9. Personnel Protection System. A system of personnel protection devices and constructional features that when used together provide protection against electric shock of personnel. 625.18 Interlock. Electric vehicle supply equipment shall be provided with an interlock that de-energizes the electric vehicle connector and its cable whenever the electric connector is uncoupled from the electric vehicle. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) – The conductors, including the ungrounded, grounded, and equipment grounding conductors, the electric vehicle connectors, attachment plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, or apparatuses installed specifically for the purpose of delivering energy from the premises wiring to the electric vehicle. Scope UL 2594- 1.1 UL-2594- covers electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment, rated a maximum of 250 V ac, with a frequency of 60 Hz, and intended to provide power to an electric vehicle with an on-board charging unit - electric vehicle supply equipment intended for use where ventilation is not required.
