Hello,

I’ve been reading online about various standards and I’m wondering what a person should expect when they pull up to a public station?

BC is announcing hundreds of new stations to be installed and I’m looking at a vehicle that has a J1772 plug with a 32A 3 phase charger or a 63A 3 phase charger.

I know this is a large vehicle so I’m not even sure a regular public charger would accomodate. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks.

I am in California, and here the new standard is the J1772 charging station, anything other than that it looks like they are not maintained and most of them are not working at this point.
