Currently, the DCFC time limit is 30 minutes maximum. New larger battery capacity will take longer to get 80% charge – i.e. Chevy Bolt EV, Tesla Model 3, 2018 Nissan LEAF, etc. Can we reconsider the time limit?
RESPONSE: The 30 minute time limit applies to drive-up EVCS of any type. This design option allows brief charging and queuing for charging service, and does not consider that batteries will be charged to full capacity. Where DCFC or any other type of charging is intended for use longer than 30 minutes, EVCS may be provided in regular parking-style vehicle spaces.
