NEN 1010 §722
EV charging point (Mode 3)
EV-laadpunt (Mode 3)
Also known as: ev, laadpaal, charger, electric-vehicle, ev-charger, ev-charging
Fixed 1- or 3-phase charging installation 16/32 A with Type 2 plug and PWM pilot signal. Requirement: separate final circuit, dedicated RCD Type A + 6 mA DC detection (or Type B), thermal protection, and sectionally switchable charging cable.
Practical example
EV charging point (Mode 3): An 11 kW charger gets its own 3×16 A final circuit with a Type A RCD + 6 mA DC detection, instead of connecting to an existing socket circuit.
Common mistake
EV charging point (Mode 3) Common mistake: Connecting a charging station to an existing circuit with a standard Type AC RCD — DC leakage from the charger electronics can blind and disable the RCD.
