EVSE Cable (Stationary Charger)The EVSE cable is a J1772 Type-1 Level-2 stationary charger that plugs into home or workplace 208-240VAC single-phase receptacles. If your situation limits you to Level-1 charging, it can also accommodate 100-120VAC if used with a low current setting.
This unit is equipped with a NEMA 14-50 plug and draws up to 32A. The charging current is adjustable in six increments (8, 10, 13, 16, 25 and 32A) by pressing the AMPS button. There’s also a delay feature that can be programmed in 1hour increments from 0 to 9 hours by pressing the TIME button.
The EVSE cable assembly has a IP65 water resistance rating and features a CE mark. The cable length is a very generous 10m (~33ft) to allow for flexible vehicle parking.
This unit provides up to 7.5kW of charging power which is plenty to keep up with the draw of our Combo Unit. Both a stationary charger (EVSE) and an on-board charger (such as our Combo Unit) is required to charge a DC battery from an AC grid source.
Charging PortWe also offer a J1772 charging port which is to be mounted on the vehicle. This port includes a hinged water/dust cover and a 4-bolt flange for mounting. On the back side, there’s a cable gland for the vehicle-side wiring. Terminals are included; simply disassemble the port to access them.
The J1772 standardized plug includes communication (signaling) channels that require EVSE-to-vehicle communication before charging can begin. The Combo Unit does not provide this communication to the J1772 plug and neither does the AEM VCU. Customers will need to seek other means to provide EVSE communication from the vehicle such as certain battery BMS (including our Mini-Module BMS) or other add-on devices. For more information, do a web search on J1772 Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot signaling.
