Site design

A site for EV charging can be designed in many different setups. This section is intended to
give some useful information on the placement of a charger with respect to parking spaces
and the vehicle inlets for the charging cable.
3.1

Cable reach

The charge cables of the T54 are about 3.9 meters long. The DC cables leave the charger on
the right side, the AC cable leaves on the left side. The cables and the connectors mounted on
the cables are different for each charging standard and make them more or less flexible to
reach out.
The figure below shows the charger in the center with each type of connector and how far it
can reach out. The yellow circle describes the range of the Combo cable, green circle the
CHAdeMO cable, blue circle the AC cable.
3.2

Different alignment possibilities

The charge inlets on a car can be located at different positions. The most common cars have
their inlets located either on the front of the car, or on the left or right back side.
