I brought motion 128-NFPA 70-2025 to the table in Las Vegas, but the voting members turned it down. Thus 625.4 will become code. Though not in California if AB306 passes. NOTICE OF INTENT TO MAKE A MOTION (NITMAM) NITMAM No. 128-NFPA 70-2025 [ New Section after 625.2 ] NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code 2023 Edition Referenced Item: Second Revision No. 7853-NFPA 70-2024 Motion: Reject 625.4 Comments or Clarification The proposed 625.4 will not stop DIY install of EVSE, rather it will push DIY installers “out of the system”. Prohibiting DIY installs does not prevent DIY installs. --------------------- In the interest of safety, having a building inspector check DIY torque values and wiring is a good thing that NFPA should fully endorse. ------------------------ The narrow nature of this, which does not clearly cover receptacles or empty junction boxes, will create confusion, and further undercut the intended aims of this code addition. The proposed language could create a perverse incentive to install more receptacles under the guise of welder outlets or whatever, rather than the simpler to wire correctly EVSE.
