Note

Amperage values are the maximum current the adapter or charging station is capable of. Power varies based on voltage at the location.

AC Charge Power General Assessmentlink

The "weakest link" in the chain charging station, charge cable and vehicle on-board charger determines the charge current. To determine charge current and charge power on an individual basis, follow these steps:

  1. Select a vehicle configuration from Vehicle Configurations and Their Maximum Charge Current.
  2. Select a charge cable from Charge Cables and Their Maximum Charge Current.
  3. Pick the lower current value from both to represent the charge current.
  4. Multiply the charge current with the grid voltage.
    • If charging three-phase, multiple the result by 3 to determine the charge power.
