Which of the following statements accurately reflects a significant change in NEC 2026 regarding the calculation of feeder and service loads for dwelling units, specifically concerning the demand factors for electric vehicle (EV) charging loads?
NEC 2026, Section 220.87, now mandates a minimum 12,000 VA demand factor for each EV charging outlet in dwelling units, regardless of the charger's rating, when applying the optional method.
NEC 2026, Section 220.87, introduces a new table (Table 220.87(C)) that allows for reduced demand factors for multiple EV charging outlets based on the total connected load and the number of outlets, provided a load management system is in place.
NEC 2026 has eliminated the requirement to include EV charging loads in the feeder and service calculations for dwelling units if the charger is rated less than 16A.
NEC 2026, Section 220.87, now requires that all EV charging outlets in dwelling units be calculated at 100% of their nameplate rating, removing any previous demand factor allowances.
