AeroVironment, Inc. has expanded its EVSE-RS home EV charging point range with a new EVSE-RS Plug-In, which plugs into a dedicated 240V outlet, eliminating the need to hardwire the charging station into the home. The station is SAE-J1772 compliant.
As well as easing the installation process, the EVSE-RS Plug-In charger slides in and out of a wall-mounted bracket; this allows EV drivers to take their charging station with them when they move and allows them to charge at other frequently visited residences, such as relatives’ homes or vacation homes equipped with a dedicated 240V outlet. The station comes with an installation kit and mounting template and retails for US$1,099.00 through Amazon.com or direct from AeroVironment.
The EVSE-RS Plug-In displays a green light when it’s ready to charge and stops automatically when the charge is complete. Features to ensure reliability and safety include safeguards against live power, a breakaway safety cable and automatic ground fault monitoring.
