US 2017/0361719 A1 · Securized and portable electric vehicle charger

Abstract

An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) having ability to charge electric vehicle from indoor located 208-240V outlets. The EVSE comprises a flattened armored cable to securely transmit electrical power to outdoor location from indoor located electrical source. In the preferred embodiment, the flattened armored section acts as EVSE anchoring system which providing ease of installation when temporary electric vehicle recharging is required. The EVSE has ability to disconnect electrical power passing through the flat armored cable in case of non proper conditions or if any electrical hazard occurs. A further embodiment comprises a flexible version of flat cable. To enhance its electrical safety, flat wire conductor comprising damage sensor is used to improve the electrical safety. The EVSE may validate flat wire physical integrity before applying electrical power to the flattened flexible cable.
