- Voltage (Volts): Voltage (V) is electrical pressure. Residential L2 chargers in North America run on 240 V split-phase; commercial L2 typically uses 208 V three-phase; DCFC delivers 200–1,000 V DC straight to the battery. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/voltage
- Smart Charging: Smart charging dynamically adjusts EV charging power based on grid conditions, electricity prices, demand response signals, or the host site's available capacity — instead of charging at maximum power the entire session. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/smart-charging
- Charge Management System (CMS): A charge management system (CMS) is the software platform that monitors chargers, manages user access, processes payments, runs smart-charging policies, and reports utilization. It's the operating system of a commercial EV charging site. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/charge-management-system
- Credit Card Reader (EMV Kiosk): Federal NEVI rules require new public DCFC stations to accept contactless credit/debit cards (EMV tap-to-pay) at the charger — no app required. The card reader has become a NEVI compliance checkpoint and a frequent source of downtime. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/kiosk-payment
- Fleet Charging: Fleet charging is the design and operation of dedicated EV charging for commercial fleets — typically L2 overnight in a depot, paired with a few DCFC bays for midday top-ups. The economics are completely different from public retail charging. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/fleet-charging
- Depot Charging: Depot charging is fleet charging done at a centralized facility where vehicles return between shifts. It's the dominant pattern for last-mile delivery, transit, school bus, and class-8 truck electrification. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/depot-charging
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) (TCO): Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for EV charging includes hardware, installation, electricity, demand charges, network/software fees, maintenance, and downtime cost over the asset's lifetime — not just the sticker price of the charger. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/tco
- Stranded-Asset Risk: Stranded-asset risk in EV charging is the chance that hardware becomes obsolete, unsupported, or technologically irrelevant before it pays back. Common causes: connector standard shifts (CHAdeMO → CCS → NACS), software EOL, or operator bankruptcy. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/stranded-asset-risk
- Off-Peak Rate: An off-peak rate is a discounted electricity tariff utilities offer during low-demand hours — usually overnight. Smart-charging policies that defer EV sessions to off-peak windows can cut energy cost 30–60% versus peak charging. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/off-peak-rate
- kVA (Kilovolt-Ampere) (kVA): kVA (kilovolt-ampere) is the unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems — the product of voltage and current without accounting for power factor. Transformers, switchgear, and BESS inverters are sized in kVA; chargers are typically rated in kW. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/kva
- Load Shifting: Load shifting is the practice of moving electricity demand from one time period to another — typically from on-peak to off-peak — using smart-charging policies, BESS dispatch, or scheduling. It cuts demand charges and improves site economics. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/load-shifting
- EMV Payment Standard (EMV): EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) is the global standard for chip-card and contactless tap-to-pay credit/debit transactions. NEVI requires every federally funded public DCFC to accept EMV contactless payment directly at the charger. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/emv
- Power Factor: Power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) in an AC circuit, between 0 and 1. Modern DC fast chargers achieve power factors above 0.95; cheaper or older equipment can drop to 0.85 or worse, increasing utility billing and transformer load. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/power-factor
- ICCID / Cellular SIM (ICCID): An ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) is the unique number on a cellular SIM card. Every networked EV charger has at least one cellular modem and SIM; ICCID tracking is how operators monitor connectivity and bill carrier data. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/iccid
- ENERGY STAR for EVSE: ENERGY STAR for EVSE is the EPA certification program for energy-efficient EV charging equipment. Certified chargers minimize standby power draw and idle losses, which add up significantly across a fleet of always-on units. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/energy-star
- SAE J1772 Connector (J1772): SAE J1772 is the standard 5-pin AC connector used by virtually every Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger sold in North America until the NACS transition. J1772 supports up to 19.2 kW single-phase AC. → https://chargerigs.com/glossary/sae-j1772
