EV Charging Terminology

A charger mounted on a post, pedestal or stand rather than directly on a wall. It is normally checked against mounting method, exposure, durability, access requirements and the conditions at the installation location.

The main use case a charger is designed or commonly specified for, such as domestic, workplace, fleet, public or destination charging. It is normally used to match charger features to the intended environment, utilisation pattern and user group.

EV charging infrastructure available for use by members of the public, including on-street, rapid, destination and en-route charging. It is normally assessed alongside authorisation method, user experience, accessibility, payment flow and support requirements.
