Charger types

Charging point

A charging point is a physical device used to recharge an electric vehicle. Depending on its design, one physical charge point can contain one EVSE or several independently managed EVSEs. This distinction matters where a cabinet can charge more than one vehicle at the same time. UK public-charging guidance records those simultaneously usable positions as separate EVSE objects even though they sit in one physical unit. "Charge point", "charger" and "charging station" are often used loosely in everyday language. For technical data, use the physical charge point, EVSE and connector terms consistently.
