The location of the car charging facility is represented as a point feature.

• Type: GM_Point

• Multiplicity: [1]

ratedVoltage

The voltage available at the car charging point. Higher voltage levels charge batteries more rapidly.

• Type: RatedVoltage

• Length: 3

• Multiplicity: [1]

type

The type of connector. This is determined by whether an EV is charged using AC or DC, the charging speed (kW power) and the safety protocol employed. Having different countries of origin, the make and model will also determine what connector are used.
