EVSE stands for which term?

• A. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
• B. Electric Vehicle Service Equipment
• C. Electrical Vehicle System Equipment
• D. Energy Vehicle Supply Equipment

Answer: (A)

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment is the correct term. This refers to the hardware that delivers electrical energy to a plug‑in vehicle for charging—the charging station, cords, connectors, and any safety/interlock features and communication that regulate charging. The idea is that it supplies energy to the vehicle, rather than being part of the building’s electrical service equipment. Different options aren’t standard terms used in codes: service equipment denotes the building’s main electrical service, while the other phrases aren’t commonly used in this context.
