Coulomb Technologies’ ChargePoint CT2100 charging station has been certified to Underwriters Laboratories’ new UL Subject 2594. UL Subject 2594 is the safety requirement covering Electric Vehicle (EV) supply equipment, and Coulomb’s ChargePoint CT2100 product family is one of the first charging stations to be evaluated to this standard.

UL Subject 2594 covers electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment, rated a maximum of 250 V ac, with a frequency of 60 Hz, and intended to provide power to an electric vehicle with an onboard charging unit. Subject 2594 covers electric vehicle supply equipment intended for use where ventilation is not required.

The products covered by Subject 2594 include EV Power Outlets, EV cord sets and EV charging stations, Levels I and II. EV cord sets may be designated as portable cord sets or stationary cord sets and may be designated for indoor or outdoor use. EV charging stations may be designated as either movable or permanent charging stations and may be designated for indoor or outdoor use. The products covered by Subject 2594 are intended for use in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70.

In addition, the CT2100 is certified to UL 1998, UL 991, UL 2231-1 and UL 2231-2 standards.

The CT2100 family of charging stations supports both Level II 208/240V, 30A charging (via the SAE J1772 connector) and Level I 120V, 16A charging via a standard NEMA 5-20 outlet thereby offering the ability to charge almost any EV.
