EVSE: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment

EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is the structured set of equipment necessary to ensure the safe and efficient recharging of Electric Vehicles (EVs).

This infrastructure goes beyond the simple charging point: it encompasses all essential components, including electrical protection devices (circuit breakers, relays), cables, connectors, meters (often MID certified), and, in modern installations, management and supervision systems (software, communication interfaces).

The EVSE acts as a regulated interface between the electrical network and the vehicle, ensuring that the electricity supply (whether Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC)) complies with current safety standards. Its deployment, whether at home, in businesses, or in public charging networks, is essential for the development of electric mobility, as it guarantees interoperability, performance, safety, and reliability of charging sessions for all users.
