(1) Electric vehicle charging stations shall be provided with separate protection against the overload of input supply and output supply as per relevant standards.
(2) Socket-outlet of supply of electric vehicle charging points shall be installed at least 800 millimetre above the finished ground level.
(3) A cord extension set or second supply lead shall not be used in addition to the supply lead for the connection of the electric vehicle to the charging point and shall not be used as a cord extension set.
(4) No adaptor shall be used to connect a vehicle connector to a vehicle inlet.
(5) The distance between the charging point and the connection on the electric vehicle shall not be more than five metre during charging.
(6) The portable socket outlets shall not be permitted for electric vehicle charging.
(7) The lightning protection system shall be provided for the electric vehicle charging stations as per relevant standards.
(8) The electric vehicle charging station shall be equipped with a protective device against the uncontrolled reverse power flow from electric vehicle to the charging point.
(9) One second after disconnecting the electric vehicle from the supply mains, the voltage between accessible conductive parts or any accessible conductive part and earth shall be less than or equal to 42.4 Vpeak (30 Vrms), or 60 V DC, and the stored energy available shall be less than 20 J:
Provided that, if the voltage is greater than 42.4 Vpeak (30 Vrms) or 60 V DC, or the energy is 20 J or [भाग III—खण्ड 4] भारतकाराजपत्र:असाधारण 145 more, a warning label shall be attached in a conspicuous position on the charging stations.
(10) A vehicle connector used for direct current charging shall be locked on the vehicle inlet if the voltage is higher than 60 V DC and in case of charging system malfunction, a means for safe disconnection shall be provided.
(11) The electric vehicle charging point shall disconnect supply of electricity to prevent overvoltage at the battery, if the output voltage exceeds maximum voltage limit permissible for the vehicle.
(12) The electric vehicle charging points shall not energise the charging cable when the vehicle connector is in unlock position.
(13) The electric vehicle connector shall not unlock if the voltage between the vehicle connector and the earth is more than 60 V.
(14) Safety clearance between the oil or gas dispenser and electric vehicle charging point shall be as per the order issued by the Authority.
(15) Only four core cable shall be used for charging points which require three phase power supply.
(16) Underground cables shall not cross the underground oil tank or oil pipeline.
(17) Underground cables through the charging area or vehicles passage shall be avoided and if provided shall be at a minimum depth of one metre from the finished ground surface.
