• A. 18
• B. 12
• C. 36
• D. 24

Answer: (A)

This item tests the minimum mounting height for the coupling means of electric vehicle supply equipment above an indoor parking surface. The requirement sets not less than 18 inches to ensure the connector is kept out of water, debris, and fluids on the floor while remaining reachable for typical users. Mounting at this height helps prevent damage from vehicle traffic and makes the plug easier to use without bending too low. Any height at or above 18 inches is acceptable, provided the equipment is not specifically listed for a different height. Choices lower than 18 inches don’t meet the minimum, while higher heights (such as 24 or 36 inches) would also comply but are not the minimum.
