QUESTION 1
What does the acronym EVSE stand for?
A) Electric Vehicle Service Equipment
B) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
C) Electric Vehicle System Electronics
D) Electric Vehicle Safety Equipment
Answer: B) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
Rationale: EVSE is defined in NEC Article 100 as the equipment that
conducts energy from the premises wiring to the electric vehicle. This
includes the power block, pedestal, charging cables, wiring, and all
accessories necessary for the safe transfer of energy between the utility

supply and the vehicle. The term "Supply Equipment" is the correct
technical designation recognized by the National Electrical Code and the
SAE J1772 standard.
QUESTION 2
What are the three levels of EV charging?
A) Low, Medium, High
B) Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 (DC Fast Charging)
C) AC, DC, Wireless
D) Residential, Commercial, Industrial
Answer: B) Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 (DC Fast Charging)
Rationale: The SAE International standard classifies electric vehicle
charging into three distinct levels based on voltage, amperage, and
power delivery. Level 1 uses standard 120-volt household circuits. Level
2 operates at 208-240 volts and is the most common for residential and
commercial installations. Level 3, also known as DC Fast Charging,
operates at much higher voltages and power levels, often exceeding 480
volts and 350 kW, and bypasses the vehicle's onboard charger to deliver
DC power directly to the battery.

QUESTION 3
What is the typical voltage and amperage for Level 1 charging?
A) 120 VAC, 15 amps (max 16A continuous)
B) 240 VAC, 30 amps
C) 480 VAC, 125 amps
D) 600 VDC, 550 amps
Answer: A) 120 VAC, 15 amps (max 16A continuous)
Rationale: Level 1 charging utilizes a standard 120-volt AC household
outlet, typically a NEMA 5-15 receptacle. The maximum continuous
current draw for this configuration is 16 amperes, as the National
Electrical Code requires continuous loads to be limited to 80% of the
circuit breaker's rating. This method provides approximately 2 to 5 miles
of range per hour of charging.
QUESTION 4
What is the typical voltage range for Level 2 charging?
A) 100-120 VAC
B) 208-240 VAC
, 4|Page
C) 380-480 VAC
D) 600-800 VDC
Answer: B) 208-240 VAC
Rationale: Level 2 EVSE operates on a 208-240 VAC supply. The 208-volt
configuration is commonly found in commercial and multi-tenant
residential buildings where three-phase power is available. The 240-volt
configuration is standard for single-family residential applications. Level
2 charging provides significantly faster charging than Level 1, typically
delivering 20-30 miles of range per hour of charging.
QUESTION 5
What is the maximum continuous current for a Level 2 EVSE on a 50-
amp circuit breaker?
A) 40 amps
B) 50 amps
C) 30 amps
D) 60 amps
Answer: A) 40 amps
