ABOUT ELECTRIC CHARGERS
The technical term for the equipment we are installing is Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Almost no one uses that term or has ever heard of it. Some people call it a car charger, which is technically incorrect.
The unit that we install on the wall is a charging station. It is basically an extension cord to bring AC power to the car. The actual charger is inside the car. We use both terms to appeal to all customers. You can call it either one and we’ll know what you are talking about.
