Tennessee Numbers – EVS AND EVSE
BEV
("Battery Electric Vehicle") | Only all-electric vehicles |
PHEV
("Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle") | Vehicles that have a combination of an electric-drive system with a battery and some size (large or small) of an internal combustion engine (ICE) in them as well |
PEV
("Plug-in Electric Vehicle”) | All vehicles that have a plug (BEVs and PHEVs) |
EVSE
(“Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment") | The broad name for all EV charging equipment no matter size or charging speed |
Level 2
(Charger size) | Refers to single-phase, 220-240 volt (V), alternating-current (AC) charging equipment. In size, they are typically the size of 1-2 shoe boxes, minus any stanchions. |
DCFC
("Direct Current Fast Charging") | Refers to three-phase, 480V, direct current (DC) charging equipment. DCFC equipment is typically about as tall (or taller) than a refrigerator and about half as deep. |
