Uhm... Why would it be a problem? A car is literally floating (electrically), so any ground fault would be within the charging circuit. My charger is connected

My charger is connected via a NEMA 14-50 outlet, that uses regular GFCI breakers in the panel. They have not ever tripped, outside of me testing the outlet.

- rtkwe 2y agoIt's more of a problem for people and chargers at non single family residences. If the charger at a shopping mall, an apartment building or duplex trips the person charging is less likely to completely unable to go flip the breaker to resolve the issue. If it's at an apartment or mall it might be down for a week or more before someone bothers to go fix it.
- cyberax 2y agoThis can be alleviated by adding a subpanel within the garage space. NEC/NFPA doesn't require GFCI on the connection between the main panel and the subpanel.
- rtkwe 2y agoDoesn't really solve the issue for people in apartments or near businesses that provide level 2 chargers. Those users are still not going to have access to the panel to reset a GFCI breaker or likely even know where it is unless it's right there at the charger itself.
