A NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) plug is a standard for electrical outlet configurations in North America. NEMA plugs are commonly used for Level 2 home EV charging, with the NEMA 14-50 outlet being one of the most popular choices. This outlet provides 240V power and can support charging at up to 40 amps, allowing for faster home charging. The NEMA standard ensures that EV owners can easily find compatible outlets for their chargers, whether at home or in public locations.
