Standard for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging System Equipment
Also Known As:
The UL 2202:2018 standard provides requirements for conductive charging system equipment used to recharge the storage batteries in electric vehicles (EVs). The standard applies to both off-board and on-board chargers, with off-board equipment being suitable for indoor or indoor/outdoor use, and on-board equipment being designated for outdoor use. The installation of off-board equipment must comply with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
The standard defines "electric vehicle" as encompassing electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and plug-in versions of these vehicles. It specifies that electric vehicle charging system equipment that relies on installation in an end product for compliance is subject to the requirements of both UL 2202 and the relevant end product standard. On-board chargers, on the other hand, are evaluated based on their specific installation requirements within the electric vehicle.
The UL 2202 standard does not cover battery chargers for engine-starter batteries or industrial batteries. Additionally, it references other standards, such as UL 2231-1 and UL 2231-2, which address personnel protection systems for electric vehicle supply circuits and protective devices used in charging systems.
Clauses 2 to 84 of the standard directly apply to off-board charging equipment, while Supplement SA applies specifically to on-board charging equipment. The standard ensures the safe and efficient charging of electric vehicles, promoting the growth and adoption of electric transportation.
