The EVSE Technical Specification provides electric vehicle supply equipment / electric vehicle supply and discharge equipment (EVSE/EVSDE) proponents with information about obligations for connection to, and interfacing with, our regulated and unregulated electricity networks.

Points raised by industry stakeholders during the consultation process have been noted and addressed and where appropriate changes made to the draft specification.
