THE PRODUCT:

Electric vehicle supply equipment is used to charge electric vehicles.

THE STANDARD:

Our recommended standard for electric vehicle supply equipment is based on ENERGY STAR Version 1.0, which took effect in December 2016. The ENERGY STAR specification applies to Level 1 chargers (which operate at 120 V), Level 2 chargers (which operate at 208 or 240 V), and combined chargers.

KEY FACTS:

Electric vehicle supply equipment meeting ENERGY STAR Version 1.0 use about 40% less energy than standard models in standby mode. In 2020, 20% of shipments of electric vehicle supply equipment were ENERGY STAR qualified.
