Amendments to the National Electrical Code

The National Electrical Code, 2017 Edition, is amended as follows:Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Charging System), Part I (General), is amended by amending Section 625.15 (Markings) to read as follows:"625.15 Markings. The equipment shall comply with 625.15(A) through (D).General. All equipment shall be marked by the manufacturer as follows:FOR USE WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLESVentilation Not Required.

Where marking is required by 625.52(B), the equipment shall be clearly marked by the manufacturer, "Ventilation Required." The marking shall be located so as to be clearly visible after installation.Service Panel Labeling. The service panel or subpanel circuit directory shall identify the spaces reserved to support EV charging as "EV-Ready." The raceway location shall be permanently and visibly marked as "EV-Capable.""Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Charging System), Part III (Installation) is amended by adding a new Section 625.53 to read as follows:"625.53 Identification. Construction documents shall indicate the raceway termination point and proposed location of future EV spaces and EV chargers. Construction documents shall also provide information about the amperage of future EVCS, raceway methods, wiring schematics, and electrical load calculations to verify that the electrical panel service capacity and electrical system, including any on-site distribution transformers, have sufficient capacity to simultaneously charge all EVs at all required EV spaces at the full rated amperage of the EVCS."
